Choosing a Career in Psychiatry

From the American Psychiatric Association (APA) website:

"The Surgeon General’s report, Mental Health: Culture, Race and Ethnicity, unequivocally states that “mental health is fundamental to overall health and productivity. It is the basis for successful contributions to family, community, and society. Throughout the lifespan, mental health is the wellspring of thinking and communication skills, learning, resilience, and self-esteem.” Psychiatrists make a difference because they can apply medical knowledge and understanding to the treatment of the mentally ill in a cultural competent manner. There is untold richness in diversity in being a psychiatrist and each year more and more medical students are choosing a career as a psychiatrist" (APA_psychiatry.org, para 1)

**From the AAHP website:

"AAPHP programs emphasize teaching, community involvement, competency-based practice, research, and professional development in order to prepare competent public health practitioners. Graduate-level preparation in this area combines the recognized public health foundations - biostatistics, environmental health sciences, epidemiology, and health services administration with unique areas of concentration as determined by each program. All of the AAPHP programs are accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) which accredits both Schools of Public Health and MPH Programs."

State-by-State Listing of CAHME-Accredited Healthcare Administration Programs

The Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME) is responsible for promoting, evaluating, and improving graduate healthcare management education in the United States and Canada.

Considering earning a doctorate in health administration? See: Doctorate in Healthcare Administration Program Information -- About the DHA (from the website):

"Although they seem similar, PhD in healthcare administration and doctor of health administration (DHA) programs differ considerably. Those who pursue a PhD focus on developing unique research and publishing their findings in academic journals. Alternatively, DHA programs concentrate on identifying problems in the healthcare administration field and applying high-level, practical solutions to these dilemmas. PhD graduates tend to find jobs as faculty members at universities, and DHA graduates often find jobs at healthcare organizations ... The Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education does not offer accreditation for doctoral degrees. Therefore, for PhD and DHA degrees, students should look for programs with Higher Learning Commission accreditation or regional accreditation.
