The Robert E. Larner, MD, College of Medicine at the University of Vermont and UVM Health, in partnership with Hudson Headwaters Health Network, are seeking a full-time psychiatrist to coordinate and expand integrated care across the New York region. Within the UVM Health, this faculty member will serve at the AssistantAssociateProfessor level on the clinical scholar pathway to practice outpatient consultation psychiatry through the Primary Care Mental Health Integration Division for the Department of Psychiatry. This attending psychiatrist will be part of a team of licensed clinical social workers and mental health clinicians in outpatient primary care offices affiliated with UVM Health. In addition, the individual will have a shared role with Hudson Headwaters Health Network, providing department leadership and consultation, along with clinical care to health center patients. At Hudson Headwaters, this psychiatrist will be an integral medical leader to support the provision and expansion of behavioral health referrals and care.
Both UVM Health and Hudson Headwaters are working to emulate the American Psychiatric Association's Collaborative Care model, and the psychiatrist will have flexibility in their work to include e-consultation and telepsychiatry from their home in addition to providing caseload consultation to mental health clinicians and other team members remotely. Together, the University of Vermont and Hudson Headwaters have a collaborative responsibility to care for patients in New York, and this unique role provides an opportunity for the individual to work with both organizations to help evolve the care delivery model, improve primary care integration, quality and patient experience.
At UVM Health, we are currently hiring team members for our continued network expansion of our primary care mental health integration program at outpatient primary care offices in New York State at our partner hospitals. These may include your choice of primary care outpatient sites at Champlain Valley Physician Hospital, and or Alice Hyde Medical Center. You will lead and recruit for a growing team focused on clinical implementation of the collaborative care model with the goal to expand access to mental health services in these underserved areas. The selected candidate will see outpatients for psychiatric evaluations, provide short-term follow-up and supervise licensed mental health clinicians. Clinical psychiatric consultations can be done via telepsychiatry which allows the applicant the ability to work remotely or from home for much of their clinical time, although on-site presence to establish relationships with referring providers, and to foster the growth of the program and consulting relationship is also an important part of the role.
At Hudson Headwaters Health Network, the preferred candidate is a psychiatrist with strong leadership skills and a desire to evolve the rural care delivery model and further primary care and mental health integration. Through the leadership role and coordination with other Hudson Headwaters departments and leaders, the psychiatrist will also help improve the Network's internal and external referral processes, enhance overall efficiency, and improve care delivery and access for patients within the northern New York region. As a large, regional federally qualified health center, the Network provides behavioral health services today through a team of 20+ Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, Psychologists, and LCSWs. In addition, the Network works closely with UVM Health and the Department of Psychiatry through an agreement for formal oversight by the Chair of the Department. This role will further support coordination with UVM Health and the Department of Psychiatry, while also serving in a clinical leadership role for the Hudson Headwaters team, as well as providing clinical care for Hudson Headwaters Health Network patients. This clinical care will likely be delivered through a combination of on-site presence at a health center and virtual care to other Network locations. Preferred on-site health centers include Plattsburgh Family Health and Ticonderoga Health Center, however, alternative locations and models can be discussed through the interview process.
Applicants must have a medical degree and be board certified or board eligible in psychiatry. They also must reside in either New York or Vermont, and either have or can attain both a New York and Vermont medical license. Additional fellowship training in child and adolescent psychiatry and or comfort in seeing patients across the full age and lifespan would be desirable for the role, however it is not necessary for application.
The Robert Larner, MD, College of Medicine of the University of Vermont Psychiatry Service hosts medical students on clerkships and electives, sponsors a residency in psychiatry, and a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.
