Description
CONSULTATION-LIAISON AND INTERVENTIONAL PSYCHIATRY POSITIONS
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, a 700+ bed tertiary care teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is recruiting highly qualified psychiatrists for part-time and full-time positions in its Psychiatric Consultation Liaison Service and Interventional Psychiatry Service. The BIDMC Department of Psychiatry is part of several exciting expanded clinical collaborations that involve partnerships with the New England Baptist Hospital and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). With DFCI, we will establish New England’s only freestanding adult inpatient cancer hospital. This collaboration will bring together world-class academic clinicians to deliver transformational, precision medicine in an environment solely dedicated to defying cancer.
The Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service includes clinical care, teaching, and supervision on a busy service that sees 2500 Emergency Department and 1000 Inpatient Medical-Surgical consultations annually. The service is a major teaching site for Harvard Medical School and the BIDMC Harvard Psychiatry Residency Training Program and is home to an active Consultation-Liaison Fellowship. The service is a multidisciplinary team, which includes psychiatric liaison nurses, social workers, and licensed mental health clinicians in addition to medical students, residents, and fellows. Certification (or eligibility) in Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry is preferred.
The Interventional Psychiatry Service at BIDMC cares for medical and psychiatric inpatients, as well as a diverse outpatient population referred from across Massachusetts and neighboring states. Clinical services include ECT, TMS, and esketamine, with the potential to participate in an expanding academic interventional psychiatry service. Psychiatrists work alongside anesthesiologists, neurologists, nurses, psychiatry residents, medical students, and research staff in a collaborative environment dedicated to excellence in patient care, education, and innovation. For those interested in the Interventional Psychiatry role, competence in ECT is required. A Harvard Medical School appointment at the rank of Instructor, Assistant Professor or Associate Professor would be commensurate with the record of accomplishments.
