But then the amount of work both sides are studying are the same wad, no?

Because for me, regardless whether I'm in the arts of medicine faculty, I'm still studying the same thing. It's the difference in the name onli wad..

davidche SG

of course no.

if you study in the med faculty, you have to study MBBS, the typical degree a doctor needs which is hard, very hard. Only 230 people can get into this degree in NUS.

Psycologist in med faculty = doctor, you can give medicines...
art faculty = couseoler or social worker.....

if you get a med degree, you can be a psychiatrist who can give out meds.
if you dont have a med degree, you can only be a psychologist and you cant give out med.
to be a social worker, you usually need another degree...

I got ur point now.

U are saying that a person with medical degree can be a Psychiatrist right?

That's true.

To be a social worker.. depending on the type of work one intends to go into.

I think for councellors, one has to have a councelling degree, or diploma, or certificate.

To be a Psychologist, one has to have a Masters in Psychology or any Psychology-relevant courses.

To be a Psychiatrist, one has to have a Medicine background of a specific area that one's specializes in.

To be known as a Doctor or Professor, you'd need a phD. Laughing
