is their any md course in psychology
Hello,
There is no MD (Doctor of Medicine) course in Psychology as MD is a medical degree typically related to clinical fields for those with an MBBS background. However, psychology offers other advanced courses like M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology or Ph.D. in Psychology, which are highly regarded for clinical practice and research. For medical professionals, psychiatry is a specialization under MD, focusing on mental health. Alternatively, individuals with a psychology background can pursue advanced degrees like PsyD (Doctor of Psychology) or certifications in psychotherapy, counseling, or behavioral therapy to enhance clinical expertise and career prospects in the mental health field.

Hello aspirant,
In India, there is no MD course specifically in Psychology. However, there are courses related to mental health and psychiatry that combine medical training with a focus on mental health, which may be of interest:
1. M.D. in Psychiatry:
This is a medical degree and the closest thing to a "M.D. in Psychology" in India. The M.D. in Psychiatry is a three-year postgraduate medical program that begins after earning an MBBS degree. It focusses on medical and clinical aspects of mental health, such as diagnosing, treating, and managing psychiatric diseases. It is appropriate for those seeking to work as psychiatrists.
2. M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology:
This is a postgraduate degree that concentrates on psychology. It is a clinical training program that trains students to work as clinical psychologists. After earning a Master's degree in Psychology, students can pursue an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology, which normally takes two years.
3. PhD in Psychology:
This is a research-oriented doctoral program that focusses on several areas of psychology, including clinical, cognitive, and developmental psychology. It does not give medical training in the same way that an M.D. does, but rather an advanced academic degree for persons interested in research or academic jobs.
4. DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in Psychiatry:
This is another medical option for individuals seeking to become psychiatrists. It is equal to an M.D. in Psychiatry and is available at a few hospitals and institutions in India.
If you're particularly interested in medical psychology or psychiatry, earning an M.D. in Psychiatry after finishing an MBBS degree is the way to go.
In India, there is no dedicated "MD in Psychology" course; instead, if you want to specialize in the psychological aspects of healthcare, you can pursue an MD in Psychiatry which requires completing an MBBS degree first and then qualifying for the NEET PG entrance exam to gain admission to the MD Psychiatry program; essentially making the eligibility to be a holder of an MBBS degree with the required minimum marks.
If you have Completed your post graduation in Psychology so you can pursue M.Phil in Clinical Psychology to get license of Clinical Psychologist.After your post graduation in Psychology you can be an RCI certified Psychologist (only after an MPhil) or Directly pursue a PhD.
GOOD LUCK!!
Hello,
There is no specific "MD" or Doctor of Medicine course in Psychology in India. Other advanced postgraduate courses in Psychology are available as follows:
- M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology: This is the most popular postgraduate program for those who intend to practice as clinical psychologists. It usually takes 2 years to complete.
- M.A./M.Sc. in Psychology: These are general postgraduate courses in Psychology, which include various specializations like clinical, counseling, or industrial psychology.
- M.Phil. Clinical Psychology: This is a specialized postgraduate programme that qualifies graduates to be licensed clinical psychologists and the Rehabilitation Council of India recognized it.
- Doctor of Psychology (PsyD): This is the professional doctorate in psychology, which is more practical than a Ph.D.
- Ph.D. in Psychology: For those who aspire to be researchers and teachers, a Ph.D. in Psychology is an alternative.
In the practice of clinical psychology, one could start with an M.Sc. or M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology because, unlike medicine, there is no MD in Psychology.
