Question 4

Psychologist vs Psychiatrist

Accepted Answer

Dr. Pauline Song-Choi is a registered psychologist. If you are looking for a psychiatrist (i.e., a medical doctor who is able to prescribe mental health medications), the best path would be to speak to your primary care practitioner for a referral to a psychiatrist. Typically, referrals need to be made through a family doctor (GP) or nurse practitioner in order for psychiatry services to be covered by MSP in BC.
