Job Description A well-established 140-bed behavioral health hospital in Georgia is seeking a full-time Geriatric Psychiatrist to provide specialized psychiatric care to its older adult inpatient population. This is a clinical attending position focused primarily on geriatric inpatient psychiatry, with no Medical Director or executive leadership responsibilities. The opportunity allows you to concentrate on delivering exceptional psychiatric care to older adults in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment. The hospital offers a comprehensive continuum of behavioral health services, including acute inpatient care, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
