Student Health Services Psychiatrist

About the role

Student health psychiatrists enjoy comprehensive benefits including generous time off. There are very few after hour and on call demands. And best of all, you are encouraged to practice medicine the way it was meant to be, by focusing on the whole patient with ample time to truly address patient needs.

With opportunities for meaningful interdisciplinary collaboration and a focus on serving students first and foremost, Student Health is an ideal setting for psychiatrists seeking both professional purpose and personal balance. You’ll support students during a pivotal stage of their development and have the opportunity to make a lasting impact through psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and consultation within a collaborative care model.

Working alongside primary care and mental health professionals, you’ll contribute to a holistic approach to student well-being in a setting that values accessibility, prevention, and culturally responsive care. There are also opportunities to engage in campus outreach and consultation, enhancing both student support and your own professional growth.
