How can you become a dermatologist AND a psychiatrist
;) I believe that a person can subspecialize in derm and/or psychiatry. I am not sure how the residency would work or how long it would be for each though there r some physicians that work as a family dr & subspecialize or have a couple of specialities. I am wondering though if the magazine has one dr or actually two.
Med school is supposed to be quite competitive to gain acceptance so I would really try to choose one specialty to begin with, know what I mean. Perhaps u can go for 'internal medicine' which is similar to a family practitioner & subspecialize in either derm or psychiatry. Just do not want u to get so overwhelmed :)

Wikipedia albeit not for professional research may have more info: http://wikipedia.org & search 'dermatologists', 'psychiatrists' and/or 'physicians'.

Well, you just answered your question with my answer. Go to school for 20 years. Maybe if the IQ was great enough--maybe 10 years. (or more)
