Community Psychiatrist (MD/DO) | Supportive Housing Psychiatry

A mission-driven community psychiatry practice in New York City is hiring two full-time psychiatrists to provide care for adults experiencing, or recovering from, homelessness.

This isn’t a 15-minute med check job. Caseloads are small and documentation is light, so you’ll have time to build real therapeutic relationships. You’ll work in the community: on the street, in drop-in centers, and in supportive and transitional housing. A team that shares your values will be right beside you.

What You’ll Do

• Join weekly clinical case conferences with fellow providers
• Build trust with people who need psychiatric care, often meeting them where they are
• Develop and lead trainings, and teach students and trainees
• Advocate for patients across housing, health, and social service systems
• Do psychiatric evaluations, diagnostic interviews, and ongoing treatment
• Provide medication management and psychotherapy as part of an integrated care plan
• Support each person’s recovery goals with person-centered, trauma-informed care
• Work as a core member of a multidisciplinary team (similar to ACT, but with lower caseloads and more psychiatric complexity)
• Help design and carry out population health initiatives

What You’ll Bring

• Comfort working mostly in person, in community-based settings
• A New York State medical license (MD or DO)
• Board certification or board eligibility in Psychiatry
• A genuine passion for community psychiatry and for serving people with lived experience of homelessness
• A collaborative, team-based approach and a commitment to equity and inclusion
• Proficiency with electronic medical records
• New residency graduates are welcome

Why You’ll Love It

• A salary of $225,000–$245,000, based on years of experience after residency, with annual step increases
• Protected time for education and professional development, including CME-accredited learning
• Small caseloads and minimal documentation and billing, with time to actually practice psychiatry
• Expert clinical supervision from leaders in community psychiatry
• Malpractice coverage provided
• Generous time off
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage, an HSA, and FSAs
• Tuition reimbursement, a transit subsidy, and pre-tax commuter benefits
