How do you Feel: The Life of a Psychiatrist.

Take an in-depth look at the career of a psychiatrist through psychiatry shadowing. From online lectures to discussions, you’ll learn exactly what this specialty entails.

During psychiatry shadowing you will work with Sarat Munjuluri MD. Dr. Munjuluri is a child psychiatry fellow who took a non-traditional path to medicine. After graduating from Rutgers University with degrees in English and Biological Sciences, he taught through Teach for America and worked as a college counselor. A decade later, he attended medical school at University of California – San Francisco and additionally earned a Master’s from University of California – Berkeley.

Psychiatry was the natural fit for Dr. Munjuluri, who works with adolescents and their families on a daily basis. His presentation highlights a case of depression in a teenager and describes the biopsychosocial model of health. He also answers questions about his decision to pursue medicine and child psychiatry, highlighting some of the challenges he faced and providing advice to pre-meds.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Munjuluri enjoys spending time with his family. His two young kids and four cats keep him quite occupied.

With psychiatry shadowing through the Virtual Clinical Education Series you will learn about the daily life of an anesthesiologist, and earn a Certificate of Completion that you’ll be able to add to your medical school application and resume.
