VA NEW YORK HARBOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM, Manhattan campus, affiliated with NYU Grossman School of Medicine, is recruiting for a full time psychiatrist for our PRIMARY CARE/MENTAL HEALTH INTEGRATION ("PCMHI") program. PCMHI is VA's approach to integrating mental and behavioral health care into medical settings that are co-located and collaborative with the primary care team.
PCMHI focuses on early intervention and prevention for mild-to-moderate behavioral health conditions within primary care and aids in identifying and referring veterans to specialty mental health services when necessary. PCMHI services include collocated collaborative care providers and Mental Health Collaborative Care Managers who offer ongoing support and treatment management, ensuring veterans receive appropriate care based on their needs.
The role of the psychiatrist is to provide consultative support to the Primary Care Providers, including guiding PC providers in the usage of psychotropic medications as part of the implementation of VA's stepped MH care model. In addition, though remaining 100% situated in the Primary Care clinic, the psychiatrist will also carry a panel of outpatients from the Mental Health Clinic with a wide range of psychiatric disorders, providing primarily medication management.
