Job description

BHIP Psychiatrist

The BHIP Psychiatrist serves as a core member of a multidisciplinary mental health team providing comprehensive psychiatric services to Veterans enrolled in the Behavioral Health Interdisciplinary Program (BHIP). The psychiatrist will be responsible for the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and coordination of care for patients with a wide range of psychiatric disorders.

Major duties and responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Conduct comprehensive psychiatric evaluations (including history, mental status exam, diagnosis, and treatment planning).
  • Provide ongoing pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatment for mental health conditions within the psychiatrist's scope of practice.
  • Participate in interdisciplinary team meetings to review cases and coordinate care.
  • Serve as the prescribing provider for a panel of Veterans enrolled in BHIP, collaborating with other team members (psychologists, social workers, nurses, peer support specialists, etc.) to ensure high-quality, Veteran-centered care.
  • Document clinical care in the Computerized Patient Record System (CPRS) in a timely, accurate, and professional manner in accordance with VA policy.
  • Provide clinical consultation to other staff as needed.
  • Support measurement-based care and population health strategies, including responding to clinical alerts, abnormal screenings, and patient-reported outcomes.
  • Engage in suicide prevention and risk reduction practices, including completion of Suicide Risk Assessments, Safety Plans, and appropriate documentation.
  • Maintain compliance with all applicable VA policies, Joint Commission standards, and professional practice standards.
  • Participate in peer review, quality improvement, and other professional activities as assigned.

Work Environment and Supervision: The position is primarily outpatient and located within a BHIP team. While the psychiatrist functions with considerable independence, they report directly to the Psychiatry Section Chief (or designee) and are ultimately accountable to the Chief, Mental Health Service. Work Schedule: Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm or as determined.
