Where Does A Psychiatrist Work?

Psychiatrists help people with mental problems and thus must work in several different environments including the inpatient at a hospital and outpatient medical clinics. In the hospital, Psychiatrists meet with hospitalized patients where they can diagnose medical diseases or disorders, start a new prescription, change prescription medications, order and interpret laboratory tests, and counsel patients. In the outpatient clinic setting, Psychiatrists do many of the same things. However, the majority of time spent seeing patients in the outpatient setting consists of counseling patients and managing medications.
