Psychiatrist

The Problem Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for. What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve. We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology. Who We Are Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems. Leading health systems collaborate with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including New York-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health. Why We Are Different * Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients. * Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population. * Continuous learning. Through our collaboration with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care. * Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care. * A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time. The Role We are hiring a Psychiatrist (Part-time) to join our clinics opening in Orange, CA & Irvine, CA as part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with SMI. What You'll Do * Provide behavioral healthcare management to Amae Health patients; monitor and manage care through an array of treatment modalities as patients progress through phases of recovery * Develop individualized treatment plans during the engagement and stabilization phase, focused on specific psychosocial and medical needs that might limit recovery * Provide continuous, regular consultations as patients navigate recovery, both in person and occasionally virtually * Liaise with patient care teams and collaborate with behavioral health providers to ensure an integrated, cohesive approach to care * Address medical needs to mitigate negative impacts of social determinants of health What You'll Have * Board-Certified or Board-Eligible Psychiatrist, with a CA license and DEA that are active, unrestricted, and in good standing * In possession of or willing to obtain Clozapine REMS certification and Medicaid enrollment if needed * Prior experience with mental health and/or addiction issues; familiarity with the medical, mental health, and social service systems in the Orange County area

You are essential to it. * A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health. * Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data. * A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams. * Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more. * A collaboration model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale. Compensation & Benefits Amae Health is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The base salary for this part-time role will be prorated from a full-time equivalent range of $300,000- $330,000 per year + performance-based bonus opportunity. Benefit packages will be available if part-time schedule is 24+ hours/week. We’ll share specifics during the interview process. If you want to practice at the top of your license, learn from the best in academic medicine, contribute to research that is defining a new field, and do it all inside a team that was actually built for this work, we'd like to talk. What We Value * We center care in all we do. Empathy is not a brand value. It’s how we make clinical decisions, build products, and treat each other. * We challenge convention. The existing system is the problem. We question it, we test alternatives, and we move with urgency when something works. * We take the work seriously, not ourselves. High standards and humanity are not in tension. We hold a hard bar for quality while leaving room for humor and levity. * Your job isn’t done until the job is done. We close gaps, we follow through, and we don’t hide behind titles or org charts. * We win together and fail together. We own outcomes as a team. We learn fast. We don’t do blame. * We hustle with humility. Speed matters. So does integrity. We assume best intent and stay grounded in the mission.
