Job Summary The Psychiatrist, Primary Care Psychiatry provides direct, time-limited psychiatric consultation to patients referred from the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) Psychiatric Consultant or broader care team when additional diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, or specialty-level psychiatric assessment is needed within a primary care-aligned context.
