What is psychiatry?
Psychiatry is a specialised field that combines traditional medical and psychological training. Before joining our network, specialists must complete medical school, pass a written exam to obtain a practicing license from the Health Professions Council of South Africa, and receive extensive on-the-job training. Pharmacology training is required so that they can accurately administer medications, and psychotherapy training is required so that they can improve their diagnostic skills. Psychiatrists can become certified after passing tests, completing residencies, obtaining licenses, and completing other requirements (though, they have to recertify every few years).
