Psychiatrist

Amae Health•Los Altos, CA

About The Position

Amae Health is seeking to connect with talented psychiatrists for a future onsite role supporting people with serious mental illness. This is not an immediate opening; applications are welcome, and the organization may reach out as future hiring needs emerge. The psychiatrist will deliver personalized, compassionate, high-quality outpatient care to patients with conditions such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. Amae’s integrated model brings psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers together to provide coordinated, longitudinal care. The role involves managing behavioral healthcare across treatment modalities and phases of recovery, developing individualized plans that address psychosocial and medical needs, and consulting regularly with patients in person and occasionally virtually. The psychiatrist will work closely with patient care teams and behavioral health providers, and address medical needs that may be affected by social determinants of health. Amae describes its work as building a national care-delivery model for high-acuity behavioral health, precision medicine for serious mental illness, a clinical operating system for longitudinal care, and outcomes frameworks to measure recovery. Clinicians may contribute to research and the development of care approaches in this emerging field.
