Psychiatry Leadership Opportunity
Assistant/Associate Program Director
Vandalia Health Charleston Area Medical Center (CAMC) | Charleston, West Virginia
Vandalia Health CAMC is seeking an Assistant/Associate Program Director to join a growing and highly engaged academic psychiatry program in one of West Virginia’s premier teaching environments. This is an exceptional opportunity for a psychiatrist passionate about medical education, resident mentorship, and clinical leadership to help shape the future of psychiatric care across rural and Appalachian communities.
The incoming physician will work closely with the Program Director, department leadership, and institutional administration to advance graduate medical education, strengthen resident development, enhance clinical training, and expand innovative, community-focused psychiatric services.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Strong Leadership Continuity: Join a stable program where the current Assistant/Associate Program Director is transitioning into the Program Director role
- Academic Leadership: Help shape curriculum, mentor residents and medical students, and contribute to the continued growth and quality of the residency program
- Flexible Clinical Practice: Predominantly outpatient clinical responsibilities with flexibility to align practice with your interests and expertise
- Build Something Meaningful: All psychiatry fellowships and subspecialties are welcome, with opportunities to develop new clinical programs and service lines
- Mission-Driven Impact: Make a meaningful difference in mental health care delivery throughout rural and Appalachian communities
- Academic & Clinical Collaboration: Work within a supportive multidisciplinary environment with opportunities for teaching, mentorship, and program development
- Visa Sponsorship: H-1B and J-1 candidates are encouraged to apply
