About The Position

We are seeking board-certified Psychiatrists to provide administrative and clinical collaboration for Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) across the United States. This role is designed for a streamlined, "chart-review" style collaboration to satisfy state regulatory requirements for NP practice.
As the Collaborative Psychiatrist, you will play a vital role in expanding access to mental health care by supporting high-quality NP-led practices. This is a low-intensity, flexible role that can easily be integrated into your existing private practice or full-time schedule.

Requirements

• Education: Medical Degree (MD) from an accredited institution.
• Certification: Board Certification in Psychiatry (ABPN) is required.
• Licensure: Must hold at least one active, unrestricted state medical license. Candidates with multiple state licenses or a willingness to apply for additional licenses via the IMLC are highly preferred.
• Credentials: Active DEA registration.
• Professionalism: A supportive, collaborative mindset toward the NP-MD relationship and a commitment to high-quality patient care.
• Secure, HIPAA-compliant high-speed internet.
• Comfort using various EMR/EHR platforms for chart auditing.
• Prompt responsiveness to administrative and clinical inquiries (typically within 24–48 hours).

• Flexibility: 100% remote work with no direct patient care requirements.
• Scalability: You choose the number of NPs you wish to collaborate with (subject to state-specific caps).
• Predictable Income: $100 per month for each PMHNP under your collaboration.
