Yes, psychologists with extensive training in psychopharmacology can now prescribe drugs.
Physicians, the same as they are now.
Take it now and once only.
That really is quite a loaded question, as there are actually three... depending upon the state in which you live. The first and most common is the psychiatrist. This individual is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats mental disorders primarily with psychotropic medications. The second most widely recognized is a psychiatric nurse practitioner. This individual is a registered nurse with a master degree in nursing and advanced training in the assessment and treatment of mental illness. In most states, an NP can prescribe medications. The third and least commonly encountered is a prescribing psychologist. A psychologist as an individual with a doctorate in psychology who has been licensed by a state. To be eligible to prescribe medications he or she has to complete a variety of requirements, usually including a master degree in psychopharmacology and an internship of 100+ cases supervised by a psychiatrist. It's important to note that as of right now, most states do not license prescribing psychologists.

Gynecologists are medical physicians, who were mostly men in the past. More and more are women now mainly because there are more women in the medical field now.

Yes. The D.O. and the M.D. are equals in medicine. The main differences now is that some M.D.s use osteopathic manipulative medicine in their practice now. It is ironic that now MDs use osteopathic manipulative treatment now but DOs do not. DOs mainly use Evidenced-based medicine now, prescribe meds, perform surgeries, and so on, but do no use manipulative medicine. Leave manipulations now to the MDs, and medication prescriptions and surgeries to the DOs. MDs are too holistic now and DOs are too evidenced-based medicine now. DOs and MDs are professionally equivalent. The above author is correct that there are continuing education programs for MDs to learn some basic manipulative techniques, but they are the minority of physicians performing manipulation.
AnswerIt was the HCFA-1500, now I think its called the CMS-1500. Same form though.
Yes. MDs have begun to learn OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment) now and are using it in their practice. MDs may prescribe meds, perform surgery, or perform manipulative medicine on patients now. DOs use traditional medicine now, allopathic medicine, and rarely ever use OMT anymore. DOs prescribe medication, perform surgery, go into any medical specialty, do research, but no longer do any DOs ever perform manipulation anymore. No. DO's receive much more extensive training in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), than do their allopathic counterparts (who receive little or no training in manipulative medicine). Allopathic physicians have begun learning OMT because there is both evidenced-based and empirical evidence to support the fact that OMT is clinically useful. ------- Source??
Well, in my experience, YES they can. I am seeing one now and he can give me scheduled medications when/ if it is warranted, and he has done so. He can prescribe a variety of prescription drugs. This is in Arizona, so I am not sure how it may vary from state-to-state. Also, they must have a D.E.A number to do so, which my doctor has. Oddly, there is not allot of concrete information about this on the internet, what they can prescribe etc., this is all from my own personal experience.
