This is a full-time attending psychiatrist position focused primarily on the hospital's geriatric inpatient population. This role does not include Medical Director or executive leadership responsibilities, allowing you to focus on providing exceptional psychiatric care for older adults within a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment.
The hospital provides a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health services, including acute inpatient care, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). You'll work alongside experienced nurse practitioners, therapists, nurses, social workers, and hospital leadership to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to older adults experiencing acute psychiatric and behavioral health conditions.
The Geriatric Psychiatrist will provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, treatment planning, and physician consultation for hospitalized older adults with acute psychiatric illnesses.
Within the hospital's collaborative care model, nurse practitioners provide much of the routine day-to-day patient management, while psychiatrists serve as the physician resource for psychiatric evaluations, complex cases, medication oversight, consultation, and clinical decision-making.
