Full description

Market pay is determined by an Activity Compensation Panel of peer physicians who will evaluate the selectee's clinical specialty, board certifications, regional market data, and depth of professional experience. Market Pay is then reviewed every 24 months to ensure compensation remains competitive and aligned with the local healthcare market. Provide comprehensive treatment services across all levels of care, from inpatient programs to routine and intensive outpatient services, including emergency and telehealth options. Develop treatment and rehabilitation plans and provide appropriate therapeutic treatment services that may include medication management, electroconvulsive therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, various individual and group therapy modalities. Prescribe appropriate pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment. Provide appropriate referrals to other medical and mental health care providers in and outside of the Military Treatment Facility. Serve as member of local Medical Evaluation Boards for assessment and determination of duty. Participate in hospital approved mental health training programs. Regularly present research and recommendations at national academic and professional organization conferences, in order to advance the field of psychiatry. The Defense Health Agency offers a highly competitive compensation package tailored to your specialty. Civilian providers are offered premium health benefits, a generous three-tiered retirement system, and completely free malpractice insurance costs under federal liability coverage. Additionally, highly qualified candidates may be eligible for additional monetary incentives and student loan repayment, all while enjoying exclusive military perks like tax-free shopping and state-of-the-art fitness centers.
