Full-Time Consultation-Liaison Psychiatrist | Weekdays Only | Long Island

The Role (For People Who Actually Like C-L Work)

This is a full-time Consultation‑Liaison Psychiatry position for psychiatrists who enjoy diagnostic puzzles, medical complexity, and explaining—politely—that delirium is not a personality disorder.

You’ll join a respected Long Island health system providing consult services across the Emergency Department and medical/surgical floors, with a structure that supports thoughtful consults instead of “just‑clear‑them” pressure.

Schedule:

• Monday–Friday, daytime hours
• No required call
• Optional extra shifts available (nights, weekends, holidays) if you want them — not because you’re forced or bribed with pizza (unless that works…)

The Clinical Reality (Better Than You’re Expecting)

This is a true inpatient consult service, not a dumping ground.

• Consults across ED and medicine floors
• Average daily volume: approximately 4–10 consults
• Time to actually assess, document, and communicate recommendations without sprinting

You’ll work alongside:

• Two other fellowship‑trained C‑L Psychiatrists
• A dedicated PA who understands consult psychiatry is not just “PRN Ativan”

It’s collaborative, medically integrated, and refreshingly sane.

Why this may work for you:

• Weekday‑only core schedule
• No mandatory call
• Predictable consult volume
• Strong peer support (you’re not “the only psych in the building”)
• Optional extra shifts for those who like flexibility — or extra income
• This is C‑L psychiatry for clinicians who want to practice at the top of their training without burning out or burning bridges with medicine teams.

Who They’re Looking For:

• Fellowship‑trained & Board Certified in Consultation‑Liaison Psychiatry
• Comfortable managing delirium, capacity assessments, catatonia, psych‑med interactions, and complex psychosomatic presentations
• Someone who appreciates medicine and psychiatry — and can translate between the two
