Northwell Health, one of the nation’s largest academic healthcare systems, is recruiting for a Consultation and Liaison psychiatrist to be a key member of the Northwell Transplant Institute and the Behavioral Health Service Line. This critical role will help implement the vision of comprehensive and multidisciplinary behavioral health for transplant patients at the system’s quaternary care center, North Shore University Hospital. This position will require from the ideal candidate a strong clinical and team-based approach following a collaborative care and imbedded model. The successful candidate will:
- provide inpatient psychiatric consultations and follow-up visits to medical/surgical inpatients and donors.
- address the psychological and social challenges associated with organ transplantation, such as anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, and medication side effects.
- perform donor evaluation for suitability of living organ donors.
- engage in multidisciplinary Collaboration: working closely with transplant team - surgeons, nurses, advanced care practitioners, social workers, and other healthcare professionals.
- evaluate and treat patients pre- and post-transplant that have behavioral complications from medical illness, complications from medications, psychiatric disorders that are co-morbid with medical and surgical conditions, and medical complications of different psychiatric disorders.
- help with cross coverage needs of the Consultation Liaison Team.
While the Transplant Psychiatrist will be embedded within the Northwell Transplant Institute, this position will have dual reporting responsibility into Northwell’s Behavioral Health Service Line. The Transplant Psychiatrist will also be a member of the Consultation Liaison team and/or Addiction services.
