Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Department of Psychiatry welcomes you to consider joining our growing ambulatory clinic. We are seeking a full-time Board Certified Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist to join our team in the provision of psychiatric care and resident supervision.

 

The OHSU Adult Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic is located at OHSU’s academic campus in SW Portland and is comprised of psychiatrists, PMHNPs, physician assistants, psychologists, neuropsychologists and 20-24 psychiatry residents (PGY2-PGY4). We offer expert consultation, evaluation, and treatment for a wide variety of mental health conditions including: mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma-related disorders, somatic symptom disorders, ADHD and others. The clinic has robustly supported telecare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and plans to continue offering providers the opportunity to work remotely for a portion of their FTE on an ongoing basis.

 

An ideal candidate is a dynamic physician who embraces diversity, equity and inclusion in their work as a clinician and educator.  We seek providers who take interest in complex cases and quality improvement efforts.  As we are an academic center, we seek those driven to seek out and integrate current evidence and scholarly findings into their practice and teaching.

Build and maintain an outpatient continuity clinic (combination of in-person and telehealth visits). Appointment times for intakes and consultations are 60-90 minutes, 30 minutes for medication management and 60-minute slots available for combined psychotherapy and medication management. Providers have the flexibility to follow-up with patients as frequently as appropriate to provide the best quality of care.

 

Outpatient psychiatric consultations are encouraged at 0.1FTE (2 consults per week).

Clinical education of residents through outpatient supervision is strongly encouraged and may comprise up to 0.1FTE.

 

Faculty take call 2-4 weeks per year. Call is comprised of in-person coverage of the inpatient C/L psychiatric services on weekend mornings (staffing with residents in-person) followed by after clinic hours call (supporting residents by phone) for the remainder of the week.  Our faculty work as a team to cover each other’s messages and urgent clinical issues while away on any leave or paid time off.  Faculty are expected to participate in this collegial coverage pool.

 

Faculty are expected to participate in monthly departmental and clinic meetings and attend weekly, CME-accredited Grand Rounds/M&M presentations.
