I have my masters in social work now how long will it take to get a doctorate psychiatry?

It typically takes four years of full-time study to complete a Doctor of Psychiatry (MD/DO) degree, following the completion of a four-year undergraduate degree and four years of medical school. After medical school, you will need to complete a four-year psychiatry residency program approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
