The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine invites applications for a board-certified/board-eligible Psychiatrist interested in joining our Consultation Liaison/Emergency Psychiatry team at Duke Raleigh Hospital. We are seeking individuals who are interested in working with a multidisciplinary group consisting of clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and behavioral health nurses. In addition to working effectively with the behavioral health team, candidates should be able to skillfully interface and collaborate with emergency, medical, and surgical services. The attending psychiatrist will be responsible for direct clinical care as well as teaching and mentoring health professions students. This position is a faculty appointment with rank commensurate with the applicant's experience. This position allows for practice in a community hospital setting but with the advantages of being on faculty at the Duke University School of Medicine.

Primary Activities: The clinical faculty position will include assisting consulting teams by directly conducting evaluations and/or supervising assessments performed by other members of the behavioral health team on adult patients in the emergency room or admitted to the hospital. The position will also involve supervision of health professions students. Scholarly and quality improvement activities are encouraged and supported. Ideally hoping to recruit a candidate interested in a 7 day on/7 day off schedule, but this is negotiable. Flexible schedule options allow time for the candidate to pursue other interests during off service time, including but not limited to scholarly work, teaching, or outpatient activities.
