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.
