Psychiatrist Needed for Innovative Team-Based Outpatient Program

The Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Psychiatry has opportunities for a collaborative, flexible, and team-oriented psychiatrist for an innovative team-based outpatient model connected with primary care medical practices. This clinician will provide outpatient care as part of an interdisciplinary team that also includes a full-time psychologist, nurse practitioner, psychologist, social worker, and medical assistant.

The team’s focus of care is on rapid access to diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, psychiatric stabilization, and ultimately disposition, either back to the referring provider or to longer-term community providers.  The psychiatrist will perform initial evaluations and ongoing psychopharmacology care in a time-limited, evidence-based treatment model caring for patients with a variety of presenting problems (e.g., mood disorders, anxiety disorders). This is a full-time position, with some in-person care but opportunities for largely telehealth practice. As part of the program, the psychiatrist will join the team in a weekly case conference to coordinate patient care and discuss challenging cases. Clinicians who enjoy assessment and goal-oriented treatment, and who collaborate well with both psychiatric and medical colleagues, will be particularly well suited for work in this service.

Qualified applicants may apply for a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School in Psychiatry at the rank of Instructor or above. Candidates should have a M.D., and be board-certified or eligible.

Interested individuals should contact Jeff Huffman, M.D., Director of Clinical Services (jhuffman@partners.org).
