Should I get my MD, PhD or both?

I would like to become a psychiatrists, one who sees patients of all ages and does research. In order to achieve this should I get my medical degree then go back to school and get my PhD or will a medical degree suffice? And if I do need both how should I go about doing that?

The only reason you need a PhD is for research. If you are looking to practice medicine, an MD will do.

Richard’s Answer

To become a clinical psychologist you will need a PhD.

But if you want to become a psychiatrist, you will need to go to medical school and obtain your MD degree.
