Outpatient Psychiatrist (Remote)

Backpack Healthcare•Atlanta, GA

19d•Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a psychiatrist who wants to practice great psychiatric care — with kids, families, and young adults — without the demands of a full-time schedule. Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and our psychiatrists are a core part of an integrated care team, not a separate service line. You'll work alongside PMHNPs, therapists, and care coordinators who are all focused on the same patients. If you want meaningful part-time psychiatric work with real clinical collaboration and real flexibility — this is worth your time.
