Under the leadership of the Director of Behavioral Health, the staff psychiatrist is an integral part of the clinic staff, providing expertise in behavioral and mental health illnesses. Integration of behavioral health in the primary care setting is a model Venice Family Clinic has adopted for many years, offering counseling, individual and group therapy, as well as psychiatric care to manage mild to moderate mental illnesses. The staff psychiatrist serves as the bridge in creating collaborative and comprehensive care for patients struggling with significant mental health challenges and symptoms. The staff psychiatrist works cooperatively with all Clinic departments, including staff clinicians, SUMMIT staff (our harm reduction substance use program), and works with other psychiatric staff, including psychiatric nurse practitioners. The staff psychiatrist may have an opportunity to provide clinical oversight and consultation to psychiatry residents from UCLA and VAH, as well as staff psychiatric nurse practitioners who provide psychiatric care. The position requires some flexibility in work location and in days and hours for clinical care.  Spanish language competency is preferred. 

Target Annual Salary Range: $275,00-$348,100
