60 Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare Jobs Hiring Near You

Primary Care MD (Sign- On Bonus)

Cascadia Health is seeking a compassionate, collaborative Internal Medicine or Family Medicine Physician to join our Integrated Primary Care team. This role offers the opportunity to provide relationship-centered, whole-person care in a multidisciplinary setting where quality, collaboration, and patient outcomes take priority over high-volume practice.

Physicians work closely with behavioral health clinicians, psychiatric providers, nurses, care coordinators, and peer support specialists to support individuals with complex physical and behavioral health needs. In addition to providing comprehensive outpatient primary care, the physician serves as a clinical leader, collaborates on medication management for stable behavioral health conditions, supports Medication Supported Recovery (Suboxone) services, and participates in quality improvement initiatives. With lighter patient panels, longer appointment times, and a low-volume, nurse-triaged after-hours call rotation, this position offers excellent work-life balance and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in an underserved community.

Why Physicians Choose Cascadia:

• Smaller patient panels with manageable daily schedules
• Greater autonomy and flexibility in clinical decision-making
• More meaningful time with each patient
• Collaborative team-based care with behavioral health integration
• Minimal after-hours responsibilities through nurse-triaged call
• Mission-driven work servicing vulnerable and underserved populations
• Opportunity to help shape innovative models of integrated healthcare
• Supportive leadership committed to provider wellness and quality care
• Competitive compensation that ranks among the top physician pay in the Portland metro area.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Provide primary care diagnosis and treatment integrated within Cascadia's behavioral healthcare services to clients with mental health or substance use disorders and patients assigned by our Coordinated Care Organizations.
• Lead the primary care staff in team-based care integrated with behavioral health staff at the assigned clinic, working as a peer with psychiatric doctors and nurse practitioners at that clinic.
• Provide primary care consultation to Cascadia's psychiatric providers and behavioral health clinicians.
• Provide medications management and Medication Supported Recovery for low acuity or stabilized individuals in coordination with their psychiatric provider.
• Work with the integrated staff at a health center and other assigned sites in the development of wellness programs.
• Share after hours call rotation (triaged through a nurse call line) with the other primary care providers.
• Work with the Primary Care Medical Director and provider team to define goals and review the progress of integrated primary care operations.
• Regularly review and continuously improve quality of care provided by your clinic or care team through periodic chart review, quality dashboards, daily huddles, and rapid improvement cycles.
• Work with the agency Clinic Directors and facility support staff, in the spirit of stewardship, to help assure the agency systems and facilities continuously operate at high levels of efficacy and harmony.
• Demonstrate responsibility for safety of consumers and/or residents, staff and property; demonstrate familiarity with fire regulations and evacuation procedures.
• Maintain a high level of fluency in the use of the electronic health record.
• Deliver timely, accurate, and professional documentation.
• Adhere to mandatory abuse reporting laws and HIPAA requirements.
• Provide input on all relevant documentation and procedural requirements.
• Complete annual employee training requirements on a timely basis per agency requirements. Attend seminars, training and other educational opportunities in order to develop professional skills and abilities.
• Participate in all scheduled staff meetings, supervision sessions, and other departmental and agency meetings.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications:

• Requires an active state medical license in Adult Medicine or Internal Medicine MD or DO including maintenance requirements and DEA certification.
• Three years of clinical experience with primary care.

Working Conditions:

Work is performed in a typical clinical setting. As such, the setting is not secure, and the LMP will be responsible for creating a safe environment within the area. In some cases, safety personnel may be available to assist with this goal. Primary care providers will be provided the appropriate tools with which to meet the requirements of their work (e.g.- computer, printer, scale, medical equipment and supplies, etc.). Meal periods and breaks are subject to interruption. Universal Precautions and remaining alert to the environment are critical to address the potential for violent behavior, exposure to disease, biohazards, noise and contaminants.
