We accept J1 Visas

If you're an experienced psychiatrist looking for a role that combines clinical impact, autonomy, long-term career growth, and a highly competitive compensation model, this opportunity is built for you. As an Emergency Psychiatrist , you'll practice in a physician-led, patient-centered health system where your voice matters and your expertise directly shapes care delivery.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

At Carilion Clinic, you're joining more than a health system, you're becoming part of a collaborative, physician-led organization that prioritizes clinical excellence and supports your professional judgment. In partnership with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine , you'll also have access to an academic environment that encourages learning, teaching, and innovation.

This role offers the chance to:

• Practice at the top of your license in a high-acuity, fast-paced emergency setting

• Work within a physician-led culture that values collaboration, efficiency, and quality care

• Engage with academic medicine , with opportunities to teach or mentor if desired

Newly Enhanced, ED-Aligned Compensation

Carilion Clinic is investing in emergency psychiatry with a compensation structure designed to recognize the pace, acuity, and specialized clinical judgment required in the emergency department.

• ED physician-aligned base rate : Higher base hourly compensation commensurate with Emergency Department physicians

• Substantial shift differentials : Additional compensation for weekend and weeknight coverage

• Flexible practice model: Position may include virtual telepsychiatry coverage, with additional hourly incentive for in-person emergency department coverage

Roanoke offers a lifestyle that's hard to match- the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains paired with the energy of a growing, vibrant community . Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, or simply unwinding outdoors, you'll have easy access to some of the best recreation in the region.

At the same time, Roanoke provides:

• A lower cost of living than many metro areas

• A welcoming, family-friendly, community

• A growing food, arts, and cultural scene

What This Role Offers You

• Enhanced Compensation : Newly upgraded model with an ED physician-aligned hourly base rate and substantial weekend/weeknight shift differentials

• Professional Growth : Deepen your expertise in emergency and acute psychiatry

• Autonomy & Support : Practice independently within a strong, collaborative team

• Academic Connection : Opportunities through the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine

Your Role

• Conduct psychiatric evaluations and risk assessments in the emergency department

• Provide crisis intervention and stabilization

• Collaborate with emergency medicine on treatment planning

• Coordinate admissions, discharges, and referrals

• Educate and support patients and families

What You Bring

• MD or DO from an accredited institution
