What is medical school like for someone who wants to be a Psychiatrist?

Question

I know, by reading everything on google searches, that to be a Psychiatrist, one must finish 4 years of college study, then 4 years of medical school, then finally 4 years of residency training for specialized training. For those of you with experience in this journey, or know somebody who went through this, was it extremly hard for somebody with a high level of motivation? I am very bad in mathematics but brilliant in English. Is there a lot of math courses to take during the course of becoming a Psychiatrist?

Answer 1

If you're brilliant in English you obviously have the intellectual capacity to do math.  Like most of us, you've probably had exceptionally poor math instructors whose idea of teaching was to give you more homework and pound a chalk board for emphasis while they went through the same formula for the fifth time.  You didn't fail to learn math, your math teachers failed to teach you.

Get a tutor.  One on one is less intimidating and a good tutor will take the time to answer your questions.  Finding a good tutor isn't hard--your school probably knows a few.  But just because somebody is a tutor doesn't make them good, either.
