Hello Rich,
It's very nice to your interest in the subject of psychology. It's good and has many specialist branches in PG. However psychiatry is different. It's a branch of medicine. One needs to be MBBS before pursuing MD in psychiatry. But there are many branches in psychology that you can select from for your PG.
