Remote Psychiatric Consultant: Help Build AI-Powered Collaborative Care (Part-Time, Flexible, No Prescribing)

Job description

Want to bring psychiatric expertise to primary care patients at scale without adding another clinical panel? Mederva Health is looking for a board-certified psychiatrist to be the psychiatric brain behind our growing Collaborative Care (CoCM) program.

This is a remote, part-time, consult-only role. No direct patient visits, no prescribing, no call. You review flagged cases asynchronously on your own schedule and join a weekly case review with our behavioral health team. Your recommendations go straight to the PCPs and care managers who act on them, so a few focused hours from you can change the trajectory for a whole panel of patients.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
- Impact at scale: one psychiatrist guiding care for many patients across multiple states and practices
- Consult-only: no visits, no prescribing, no longitudinal panel, no call
- Flexible: fully remote, async chart review plus one weekly case consult
- Startup seat at the table: shape our clinical protocols, quality measures, and the AI tools our care team uses every day
- Backed by Y Combinator and HF0, with a physician-founded, clinician-led team

WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Review flagged CoCM patients and provide documented psychiatric recommendations
- Advise PCPs and our behavioral health team on diagnosis, medications, treatment strategy, and safety planning
- Spot patients who are not improving or have complex presentations such as PTSD, addiction, mood disorders, or elevated suicide risk
- Lead weekly case consultation/office hours
- Recommend escalation to outpatient psychiatry, psychotherapy, or higher levels of care when appropriate
- Help shape clinical protocols and program quality as we grow

WHAT YOU WON'T DO
- No direct patient visits
- No prescribing or medication management
- No longitudinal psychiatric panel

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Board-certified in psychiatry
- Active licenses in 5+ states (10+ is a big plus)
- Especially interested in candidates licensed in Hawaii, South Carolina, and/or Arkansas
- Collaborative Care experience is a plus
- Curious about health tech and excited to help build something new
