I have looked over the two professions and what they offer both aim to aid children but in their own unique ways.
I have taken extensive course working is psychology already and I am transferring to UC Irvine as a junior. I have read that the general requirements for medical school which include:
One year of college Physics (with lab)
Two years of college chemistry to include the study of inorganic chemistry, quantitative analysis and organic chemistry (with lab)
One year of general biology (with lab)
One year of college mathematics to include the study of introductory calculus and statistics
Is it possible to complete these requirements along with my psychology requirements within two years?
Answers:
Well, a course in rememdial English would be a start, before ever considering the options you selected.
A peditrician is going to medical school. It's not an option.
A clinical psychologist will not have a medical school requirement but the course work is every bit as rigerous. Im a little surprised you haven't completed an elementary statistics course, as this would be a minimum requirement from most psych departments. You list a survey course as a requirment for your med school, which it seems would be taken before any "extensive" study in psychology would proceed. Also, appently you aren't aware that the pediatrics doc is going to do a rotation on a pediatric psych ward as a requirement.
The clinical psychologist might choose to do an internship at a hospital, but he might just as well choose to do extensive animal experimentation, as well as course work in all stages of human development. A psychologist who wishes to test humans or animals would have to do some serious research and testing of subjects. The peds doc won't be involved much in psychometrics, I don't think there are any course requirements for it.
I hope this helps.
