All of our clinicians perform the exact same duties, so together we have refined our processes to be as efficient and pleasant as possible.  There are no hospital-based services, no admissions, no discharges, minimal administrative responsibilities beyond the described clinical documentation, and billing submission.

Daily work schedule is flexible, position affords much autonomy/independence – but at the same time, support and assistance is always available to you from our three psychiatrists and colleagues.  

 Experience prescribing and monitoring psychotropic medications is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate.
