A psychiatrist (locum tenens) is a mental health professional, who focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. After completing medical school, a psychiatrist must also complete a one year internship and three additional years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident.

A psychiatrist evaluates patients with mental illness and, in cases where medication is subscribed, often practices medication management.
