Psychiatrist & Medical Director (Outpatient Mental Health) – Virtual or Hybrid

Location: Maryland (Virtual or Hybrid Options Available)
Position Type: Part-Time or Full-Time
Compensation: Clinical earnings typically range from $100–$300/hour depending on services provided and payer mix

About the Role

We are a collaborative, therapist-centered outpatient mental health practice seeking a board-certified Psychiatrist to join our team in a dual role providing patient care and serving as Medical Director.

This position is ideal for a psychiatrist who enjoys outpatient work, values interdisciplinary collaboration, and wants a meaningful leadership voice without an overwhelming administrative burden.

You’ll spend the vast majority of your time providing care to your own caseload, with limited and clearly defined Medical Director responsibilities.

Clinical Responsibilities (Primary Focus)

• Provide outpatient psychiatric evaluations and medication management
• Patient population ranges across the lifespan depending on your preference
• Clinical presentations are typically low to moderate acuity in an outpatient setting
• Work collaboratively with a team of therapists and administrative staff to support coordinated care
• Flexible scheduling with fully virtual or hybrid options available

Medical Director Responsibilities (Limited & Structured)

This role includes a small leadership component designed to support quality care without creating administrative overload.

Expectations include approximately 1 hour per week on average, which typically involves:

• Providing psychiatric oversight for two part-time psychiatric nurse practitioners
• Offering clinical consultation and chart review as needed
• Supporting best practices in psychiatric care within the practice
• Contributing your expertise to help shape and refine psychiatric services

There are no large teams to supervise and no heavy administrative committees — this is a focused, supportive oversight role.

Compensation Structure

Clinical Work

• Psychiatrists in the Medical Director role begin at 65% of collections
• Increases in percentage are provided over time based on tenure with the practice
• Depending on payer mix and services provided, psychiatrists typically earn the equivalent of $100–$300 per clinical hour

• This work generally averages about 1 hour per week
