Working as a psychiatrist in France
Psychiatry is a regulated medical specialty in France: you need a medical degree, the DES of psychiatry and registration with the Ordre des médecins. Child psychiatry is accessed through a specific option within that training. EU diplomas are recognised automatically, while doctors trained outside the EU go through the EVC exam and a consolidation period. Most public posts are attached to a psychiatric sector run by a general hospital or a specialised hospital (EPSM, CHS).
