Full Time Empath Health Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Overview: Loma Linda University Faculty Medical Group, Department of Psychiatry is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible psychiatrist to join our growing behavioral health team in a unique and rewarding role within our Crisis Stabilization/EMPATH Unit-a 12-bed, fast-paced program designed to provide immediate, compassionate psychiatric care to patients in crisis.
An EmPATH unit is a specialized, calming space within a hospital designed to provide rapid mental health assessment and treatment for individuals experiencing a crisis. It differs from a traditional emergency room by prioritizing a soothing environment that reduces anxiety and promotes healing and other clinical sites.

Key Responsibilities:
• Provide direct psychiatric care to patients in the Crisis Stabilization/EMPATH Unit

• Engage in consultation-liaison psychiatry as needed, including floor consults
• Supervise and teach psychiatry residents, medical students, and other trainees
• Collaborate with a team of nurse practitioners, social workers, case managers, and peer support specialists to ensure seamless transitions of care
• Contribute to quality improvement, innovation, and development of best practices in emergency psychiatric care
• We are also offering the potential for a Medical Directorship role, depending on experience and interest. This leadership opportunity would involve overseeing clinical operations of the unit, supporting quality improvement initiatives, and helping shape the evolution of emergent psychiatric services
What We Offer:
• Academic appointment and teaching opportunities through Loma Linda University School of Medicine
• A supportive and mission-driven environment with a strong emphasis on whole-person care
• Access to a rich network of specialists across disciplines at a leading faith-based academic medical center
• Opportunities for leadership development and program growth
