Northwest Permanente, P.C. is currently seeking an inpatient psychiatrist to join our growing medical group as a full-time physician to work in the Portland Metro area. Our team of six psychiatrists care for patients at Brookside Center, a 20-bed, locked, and all-voluntary residential mental health unit. We also provide psychiatric consultations at Kaiser Permanente's Sunnyside and Westside Medical Centers. We enjoy robust support from a highly talented group of mental health therapists and nurses at Brookside, and our consult duties are bolstered by two dedicated psychiatric LCSWs for hospital inpatients, as well as Emergency Psychiatric Services clinicians in the emergency rooms. The psychiatrists' clinical workload is divided roughly evenly between Brookside and consult duties.Our practice benefits from a collegial and supportive environment with frequent opportunities to discuss cases and management with fellow psychiatrists and other mental health providers. And the all-voluntary nature of Brookside engenders a willingness, openness, and readiness for treatment from patients not as frequently seen in involuntary inpatient settings. Brookside treats patients 18 years and older, and our consult service helps manage individuals of virtually all ages. Our team treats a range of diagnoses at Brookside, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders. In addition, we work closely with a separate addictions medicine consultation team and have access to Brookside's 19-bed sister detox and residential rehab unit.It is preferred that applicants have significant experience with digital technologies (Epic EMR and virtual care delivery options, for example) and psychiatric consultations. If lacking direct experience, then you will need to demonstrate both flexibility and adaptability to incorporate these into your practice.Working for Northwest Permanente, our Inpatient Psychiatrists enjoy:$301,000 - $366,000 Projected Total Compensation value (year 1)*
