Job Description

Last Update: 9/20/24

Seeking a psychiatrist to join an existing group for the expansion of a new inpatient facility. The state-of-the-art facility will have an eight-bed adolescent unit, 24 bed adult unit and 12 bed geropsychiatry unit.

The group provides inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services to include both adult, child and adolescent services, a robust consultation liaison service for the hospital, a MAT program and medical education. The Department is involved in teaching family practice residents, medical students, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and social work interns. A psychiatric residency program will be initiated once the hospital is built. An ECT program will be added.

The psychiatrist will be evaluating and treating a general adult population. Anticipated patient load would be 18-20 patients per day. Weekday call is currently being handled. Weekend call will be estimated to be 1:8. This will involve rounding on the inpatient units and seeing psychiatry consults in the Medical Center.

Suboxone certification is preferred but not required. There is a robust multidisciplinary opioid narcotic recovery program using medically assisted treatment. Conceivably, 1/2-day out of the week could be spent treating this population.

Board certification and 5 years of experience preferred. New graduates also considered.
