I know that to be a psychiatrist I would have to go to med school and that it entails studies in chemistry and physics but just how much?

Medicine is a physical science, so completely understanding it requires math, physics, chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, anatomy, and so on. However when it comes to the physics, you probably only need to take like two courses which is the basic amount for any science type degree. For chemistry it is probably the same plus a few offshoots (especially organic chemistry). Most of the classes you take will branch off into more specific versions of each where memorization will be much more prevalent than using analytical techniques. As a psychiatrist you will be able to prescribe medications, which means that a basic understanding of their composition and interaction with brain chemistry is critical. However, I doubt whether you average psychiatrist could solve an intermediate chemistry or physics problem on the fly (but who knows!).

You’ll need 4 semesters of college chemistry (organic and non-organic) and 2 semesters of algebra-based physics. Along with 2 semesters of calculus.
