What classes do you need to take in high school to become a psychiatrists?

Answer 1

Talk to your counselor to be sure, but generally speaking, you want to take all the Biology, sociology, science and math classes you can. Tell your counselor what you aspire to, and that you are to be considered "pre-pre-med." Then you'll be certain to get the classes you need. Definitely start early and take as many extra credit things you can (go for the seals and ribbons at graduation, and you will give yourself many more choices at college application time).

Answer 3

Psychiatrists require a significant amount of formal education. Learn about the undergraduate and medical school education, job duties and state licensing and board certification requirements to see if this is the right career for you.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in the treatment of disorders of the mind. Psychiatrists spend twelve or more years studying at the postsecondary and postgraduate levels to acquire the education and training necessary to start a career. After graduation, psychiatrists must be licensed in their state before they can legally treat patients. Many psychiatrists also become board certified in their specialties.

Answer 4

A psychiatrist is a physician with a specialty in psychiatry. First, at the undergraduate level there is no such thing as a degree in pre-med. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a tract, which prepares students who intend to seek admission to medical schools. It includes activities such as prerequisite coursework, clinical experience, volunteer activities, and research.

While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. The best major should be based on a contingency plan. In other words, what happens if you do not go to medical school? What will you be able to do with the degree that you have, and will it provide you with a satisfying career or career path? You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. Whichever major you choose, the critical issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisite coursework required by medical schools. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

• Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
• Physics
• Communication (written and oral)
• Higher level math's (algebra, trigonometry, calculus)
• Computer literacy
• Development of good critical thinking skills.
