I spent most of my 15 years as a PA in the OR and loved every minute of it. I also dealt with my fair share of anxiety and depression over the years.
Knowing I wanted to help others with their mental health, I started looking into Psych jobs but there were no postings for PA’s. I completed half of a MHC degree – and then COVID hit.
I reached out to psychiatrists for jobs – little success…
Found some Fellowships – but I would have to move out of state – bummer
Determined, I scoured the internet for online training in Psychiatry. Something that would at least give me an idea of where to start.
