A psychiatrist has completed his MD degree plus an addition period (4 years in Canada) of 'residency.... whereas a psychopharmacologist has complete what a psychiatrist has 'plus' another 2 years (in Canada) learning about and research specifically psychopharmaceuticals... I could be wrong, but I believe this is the same as America.... most psychopharms do research regarding the drugs and teach at unis.... psychiatrists are generally the medical GP of mental illness.... I've been lucky enough to see both.. A good example of a big name American psychopharmacologist is stephen stahl coming out of UCLA...
