JOB SUMMARY

The Collaborative Care Mental Health Clinician (CCMHC) is an integral member and provider of a patient's medical and mental health care team. This role is weighted toward direct clinical care with 90% of the interactions being face-to-face patient care. The role serves as the cornerstone of the team consisting of a patient, the patient's primary care provider, and a psychiatric consultant. The CCMHC also contributes to the learning, growth, and service provision of the larger Collaborative Care Psychiatry team.

The CCMHC meets regularly for case consultation with their partner psychiatric consultant and monitoring of a caseload of assigned patients. The CCMHC is responsible for oversight of a registry which serves as both a clinical tool (e.g. monitoring risk scores and patient outcomes) as well as a programmatic tool (e.g. monitoring service utilization and programmatic outcomes).
