Austell, Georgia, United States Wellstar Health System Full time

We are currently recruiting a psychiatrist to join our Behavioral Health team to bolster support for our patients with primary psychiatric and substance use disorders.

The MD/DO filling this new role will work either a traditional Monday-Friday schedule or a 7 days on/7 days off schedule to provide care to patients in the inpatient behavioral health unit who are experiencing psychiatric crises stemming from mood and psychotic disorders, substance use disorders, etc.

In addition to the prerequisite skills and competencies noted below, we are seeking physicians with a clear commitment to quality/safety and an orientation to team.

Furthermore, given our partnership with the Medical College of Georgia, interest in graduate medical education (GME) resident training and providing support for medical students rotating through the inpatient unit is important.


Overview of Duties/Responsibilities
This is a full-time position, with time allocated to the provision of inpatient psychiatric services.

Whereas the position has been conceptualized as a Monday through Friday role, there is flexibility to consider a 7-day on/7-day off week in order to meet patient needs while also optimizing work-life balance of the practicing physician.

Services are provided at Wellstar's general adult inpatient behavioral health unit, located on the Wellstar Cobb Hospital campus.

The psychiatrist functions as a member of the WellStar Medical Group's Behavioral Health team and as a member of a broader multi-disciplinary team comprised of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, case managers, mental health associates, medical students, etc.

Day-to-day, the psychiatrist will work closely with members of inpatient behavioral health team and will be fully integrated with the Cobb Behavioral Health Unit.

The psychiatrist will obtain and maintain hospital privileges at WellStar Cobb Hospital and will have responsibilities for overseeing the work of an advanced practitioner.


The ideal candidate is one who is team-oriented, possessing a commitment to collaboration, active listening skills, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and strong decision-making acumen.

(S)He should have an unwavering commitment to quality and patient safety and should be comfortable working with adults across the lifespan with various psychiatric conditions.

The willingness to work with patients with substance use disorders and severe mental illness is needed given the demographics and population.

(S)He should approach care with a spirit of collegiality, building relationships with other members of the Behavioral Health Service Line team.


Abbreviated Description

Required Minimum Education: (1) completion of a medical degree (MD/DO), (2) completion of general ACGME psychiatry residency training program, (3) license to practice psychiatry in the State of Georgia; and (4) ABPN board-certification (or board-eligibility)
