Job description

Unique opportunity to spend Summer 2026 in Anchorage, Alaska at a beautiful, well-supported inpatient facility seeking two psychiatrists starting in June.


Alaska summers are truly incredible — extended daylight, mild temperatures, and endless outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, wildlife, glaciers). It’s a rare chance to combine meaningful work with an unforgettable location.


Assignment Details:

• 3-month contract (strong potential to extend)
• Monday–Friday, 8:00–4:30
• Light rotating call (1 weeknight/week, 1 weekend/month)
• 8–14 adult inpatients/day (avg ~10)
• 2–4 admits/discharges per week
• MediTech EMR
• Malpractice provided
• All-inclusive rate (provider covers travel/lodging)
• We handle and pay for AK licensure if needed


If this sounds like something you’d consider — or if you may have a colleague who would enjoy a summer in Alaska — I’d love to connect briefly and share more details.
