Family Medicine acting as a Psychiatrist
Hey Everyone,
So I understand that FM physicians get training in Psychiatry as part of their residency. With this, to what extent are they trained to deal with Psychiatric patients compared to a Psychiatrist? For example, can a FM physician treat patient A for general medicine, then have pt. B come in for a Psych Diagnostic eval or a pt. visit w/ 30 min of Psychotherapy?
