Outpatient Psychiatrist (onsite only)
We are seeking an outpatient psychiatrist to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will possess a strong clinical background in psychiatry and have a passion for teaching and mentoring residents. In addition to having your own patient panel, a significant part of this role will be to teach and supervise psychiatry residents in the outpatient clinical setting. This position could be a wonderful opportunity for an earlier career psychiatrist who is wanting to pursue a path in medical education as it can come with opportunities for academic appointment and develop into more formal roles in residency leadership. A more experienced psychiatrist who enjoys educating the next generation would be more than welcome as well. Psychiatrists do need to be comfortable supervising residents in a general adult outpatient clinical setting, but we would be open and thrilled to have applicants with fellowship training as well.
Work is typically performed in a clinical and office environment. Accountable for satisfying all job specific obligations and complying with all organization policies and procedures. The specific statements in this profile are not intended to be all-inclusive. They represent typical elements considered necessary to successfully perform the job.
