We are looking for a Psychiatric Consultant to join our Collaborative Care team. The Psychiatric Consultant supports the Collaborative Care team—the primary care provider, patient, and Behavioral Health Care Manager—through regular consultation on an assigned caseload of patients. The Psychiatric Consultant advises the primary care provider on appropriate medications and other treatment strategies, also providing the care team with educational support on diagnosing and managing behavioral health conditions.

What You’ll Do

• Clinical Oversight
• Provide regularly scheduled (usually weekly) caseload consultation to Behavioral Health Care Managers. Case review consultations focus primarily on patients who are new to the caseload or who are not improving as expected under their current treatment plan. Case reviews may be conducted by telephone, video, or in person.
• Work with Behavioral Health Care Managers to oversee the status and population health of their assigned patient caseload. 
• Treatment Adjustment & Transitions of Care
• Recommend any treatment adjustments through the case review process or in ad hoc consultations, including medication recommendations and other interventions, within 24 hours of consulting with a Behavioral Health Care Manager or other team members.
• Advise on treatment for patients who may need more intensive or more specialized mental health care, supporting treatment in the medical setting until patients can be engaged in specialized care as appropriate.
• Be available to provide occasional ad hoc telephone consultation to primary care providers for very complex patients or challenging patient situations.
