Psychiatrist job guide
What to know before you take a psychiatrist job
Psychiatry is where MedStaff Nationwide started
Behavioral health is the specialty we built the firm on, and psychiatrist searches are the largest share of our physician work. The openings on this page come from community mental health centers, hospital behavioral health programs, outpatient practices, telepsychiatry programs, correctional and forensic settings, and academic centers. Every one is a search an employer has hired us to fill, and our recruiters talk to psychiatrists every day about what would make them move.
Setting decides the job
Two psychiatrist jobs with the same salary can be completely different work. Ask about:
- Inpatient versus outpatient, and for inpatient roles the census, call frequency, and whether call is in-house.
- Patients per day and visit length for outpatient roles, and the mix of med management and therapy.
- APRN supervision: how many PMHNPs you collaborate with and how that time is compensated.
- Subspecialty fit: child and adolescent, geriatric, addiction, consult-liaison, or forensic.
- Telepsychiatry share, and which states you would need licenses for.
- Medical director responsibilities that may be bundled into a clinical role.
What psychiatrist offers look like
Psychiatry compensation has risen faster than most specialties because demand outstrips supply in nearly every market. The salary range at the top of this page is the low and high across current openings and recomputes hourly; the salary section below breaks it out by state. Beyond base, the offers that close carry a sign-on bonus, loan repayment at community mental health and FQHC sites, CME, and clear supervision compensation. Our Offer Report publishes what psychiatrists were actually offered this year, aggregated from real offers.
Licensing, DEA, and credentialing for psychiatrists
A new state license, DEA registration, and, for telepsychiatry, licenses in every state a program serves, are the timeline drivers. Hospital and CMHC credentialing commonly runs 60 to 120 days. Your recruiter starts licensing the day you accept, and for multi-state telepsychiatry roles maps the licenses you will need before you commit.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you have child and adolescent psychiatrist jobs?
- Yes. Child and adolescent psychiatry is one of our most active search lines alongside adult, geriatric, and addiction psychiatry. Ask your recruiter for the current subspecialty openings.
- Are there outpatient psychiatrist jobs with no call?
- Yes. Many outpatient and community mental health roles carry phone-only or no call. It is one of the first details we confirm with every employer at intake.
- Do you have telepsychiatry jobs?
- Some psychiatry openings are hybrid or fully remote telepsychiatry roles. They are marked on the posting, and your recruiter can tell you which states you would need to be licensed in.
- Does it cost anything to work with a MedStaff Nationwide recruiter?
- No. Our fee is paid by the hiring organization, never by you. You get one recruiter for the whole search, every opening we present is a real, current search, and nothing is sent to an employer without your permission.
- How quickly can I start after accepting an offer?
- For a physician the gate is licensing and credentialing, not the employer. A new state license runs from a few weeks to several months depending on the state, and hospital privileging commonly takes 60 to 120 days. We start both the day you accept so the start date holds.
From psychiatrists we placed
What psychiatrists say about working with us
“As a physician, I have worked with recruiters and recruiting agencies since the beginning of my career, and I can confidently say that MedStaff was the most professional and communicative company I have ever encountered. Even over the extended process of multiple interviews and evaluations, I never felt ignored, misled, or out of touch. 10/10. I would gladly work with them again in any capacity, whether as client or as a physician seeking employment. They were instrumental in getting me an incredible opportunity.”
