A psychiatrist has a college degree, has completed medical school (M.D.), and has completed residency training in psychiatry. Various sub-specializations require additional years of training. Psychiatrists are physicians that specialize in psychiatric disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. A psychologist has a college degree, and has then completed a Ph.D. program. A psychologist is not a medical doctor. Raj Clinics has psychiatrists on staff.
