Absolutely, you can do a psychiatry residency after obtaining the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine medical degree (D.O.) There are D.O. residencies in psychiatry, however you can also do M.D. residencies as a D.O. in many specialties (including psychiatry and even surgery). Some may argue that the allopathic residencies are more difficult to obtain if you have a D.O. degree rather than an M.D. degree b/c the spots are "reserved for an MD", but I think if you're comparing two applications, one a D.O. w/better credentials/grades and the other an M.D. w/poorer credentials/grades, the D.O. can very well be picked for the residency spot over the M.D. Hope that helped!
The Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) is a medical physician like a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) and has a slightly different approach in terms of patient care and treatment. The DO unlike the traditional MD approaches sickness from a more holistic approach treating the patient as a whole person rather than just the parts of the person. The DO also holds a firm belief of the body's healing power, and strives to facilitate the process.
D.O. is a doctor of osteopathic medicine.

Doctor of Psychiatry.
Yes, online psychology and psychiatry degrees can be just as respected as a degree that you earn in person. You will need to make sure that the school is accredited though.
Diplomate, American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology
You would need to obtain a medical degree with a specialty in psychiatry. No, you'd need to have a doctorate in Psychology as Psychiatry and Psychology are different professions.
Gat an MD degree with a specialization in psychiatry, serve a residency, then find a job with a hospital.
The number of classes that you need for a psychiatry degree will depend heavily upon which university or college you wish to enroll in. The class length, duration and expectations will also affect how many classes are needed, so these will need to be checked as well.
AnswerYou can apply for a medical degree (DO, MD, or MBBS/MBChB) then specialise in psychiatry. It will take time but you can get there. If you have a degree in psychology it would be faster to continue the process to becoming a psychologist by getting a PsyD rather than having to go through med school to become a psychiatrist (although psychiatry generally pays better...)
An MD degree with specialization in psychiatry, followed by additional intense training.
No-You must undergo certain medical and pharmaceuticals training. However...your masters degree in psychology is a liberal ARTS degree...and is the step preceding getting your Doctorate of Psychology or Psychiatry.
You'll need to obtain a graduate degree from an accredited university in order to become licensed in psychiatry.
A psychiatrist is not usually a Ph.D., but a medical physician who specializes in psychiatry with a medical degree such as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) or a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree. However, medical physicians can go into dual degree programs such as a D.O./Ph.D. program or M.D./Ph.D. program or earn a Ph.D. prior to attending medical school.
