Professional Advancement: Access leadership pathways and internal educational resources to further specialize your career within one of the largest and most respected behavioral health groups in the nation

Your Role & Responsibilities:

Deliver expert psychiatric care and medication management to older adults in designated long-term care facilities
Function as an essential collaborative partner with facility medical directors, primary care providers, and facility staff to develop cohesive, patient-centered treatment plans
Conduct thorough diagnostic evaluations and ongoing treatment for a diverse range of mental health conditions common in the older adult population (e.g., depression, anxiety, dementia-related behaviors)
