The Adult PHP/IOP is part of the larger Adult Ambulatory Psychiatry Program, which also includes the Bridge Clinic (rapid-access transitional psychiatry) and the Interventional Psychiatry Service . These programs support our mission to deliver high-quality, accessible, and innovative psychiatric care across multiple levels of ambulatory treatment, with a focus on patients with serious, complex, and treatment-resistant mental illness. An ideal candidate is a dynamic psychiatrist who embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion in their work as a clinician and educator.

The specific mix of clinical assignments (Bridge Clinic, PHP/IOP, Interventional Psychiatry) will be determined based on program needs, psychiatrist expertise, and FTE allocation. As this is a developing ambulatory service, clinical responsibilities may evolve over time in response to patient care needs and program growth. Adjustments to scope and assignment may be made in collaboration with the Medical Director. This is an academic position.
