what is the procedure of becoming an psychiatrist in India if we don't want to do any MBBS degree ?
No,passing the MBBS is a pre-requisite for being considered for a PG seat in Psychiatry. So,it means without a MBBS degree you cannot be a Psychiatrist.
But, definitely you can become a psychologist .For that you need to complete your Bachelors and Masters Degree in Psychology.And typically,you need to do an internship for couple of years.
Psychology deals with behavior of a person an psychologists can apply their finding knowledge to a lot of services.
And,after getting your degree and completing your internship you can be hired as a Clinical Psychologist or as a Counselor.Not only this,you can also be hired as an Industrial or Social Psychologist .
Hope it helps
Feel free to ask if you have any query
Thank you !!!
Hello,
Let me tell you that that MBBS (Bachelor's of Medicine and Surgery) is completely mandatory to become a certified psychiatrist. Not only M.B.B.S to become psychiatrist you will have to pursue MD after completion of M.B.B.S degree. You can for either Diploma course or Degree. The duration of degree course would be three years, whereas the duration of diploma course would be two years.
