Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) - Telehealth
About the role
Brightside is dedicated to offering transformative mental health care to individuals regardless of their background, location, or circumstances. Our primary goal is to improve access to high-quality and impactful mental health care that is supported by scientific research and delivered with humanity. We are revolutionizing the traditional approach by leveraging precision treatment rooted in evidence and tailored to each person's unique needs, ensuring they receive the most effective treatment from the very beginning. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner you will integrate a consumer‑centric approach with evidence‑based methodologies, cutting‑edge artificial intelligence, and a dedicated team of providers and therapists to deliver customized treatment for each Brightside member. You will help redefine mental healthcare for the telemedicine era and be part of our mission to transform the landscape of mental health treatment.
Our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners enjoy flexible & remote telemedicine: evidence‑based approach to psychiatric care via telemedicine, including asynchronous case review, video consultation, and e‑prescribing, lowers the barriers to accessing high‑quality and affordable care. Supportive and collaborative environment: dedicated teams for member and provider support, 1:1 consultations with clinical leadership, and internal communication forums for colleague interaction. Measurement‑based care: technology measures symptoms, adherence, and side effects weekly through the active treatment phase and automatically triggers treatment reviews if patients are not improving. Machine learning‑powered clinical decision support: using machine learning and real‑time data from patient monitoring, we build a highly effective clinical decision support tool for prescribing.
We’re seeking forward-thinking and experienced Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners who understand the magnitude of the need and want to be part of the solution. Working with Brightside means the ability to practice with clinical autonomy alongside Psychiatrist support while creating a flexible work schedule. Our providers use the latest tools, including a custom-built practice management EMR, and clinical decision support, all truly designed to be easy to use.
