Linda Ann’s Answer

No! For psychiatry the answer is 'yes.'


To call oneself a psychologist, one must have a doctorate (PhD or PsyD) . From an educational perspective it takes about as long to finish a doctoral program in clinical psychology with an internship as it does to complete medical school and a residency in psychiatry.
