Psychiatrist - Outpatient

Amae Health•Charlotte, NC

19d•$270,000 - $300,000

About The Position

Severe mental illness affects over 15 million adults in the United States. Schizophrenia. Schizoaffective disorder. Bipolar I. Treatment-resistant depression. These are the conditions the rest of healthcare has systematically failed to build for. What makes this problem different from most of healthcare is that the tools to solve it do not exist. The clinical protocols, the measurement science, the precision medicine, the technology to deliver coordinated longitudinal outpatient care for this population. None of it has been built. This is a frontier problem, and it requires frontier science and care delivery to solve. We are developing all of it. The care, the science, the technology. Amae Health is a Series B, venture-backed Public Benefit Corporation that delivers specialty outpatient care for people living with severe mental illness, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar I disorder, and treatment-resistant depression. We design and operate high-acuity, in-person clinics across the United States. Our model integrates psychiatry, therapy, primary care, dietitians, and community health workers under one roof to deliver coordinated, longitudinal care for a population that has historically been fragmented across systems. Leading health systems partner with Amae to bring this model to their communities, including NewYork-Presbyterian, Cedars-Sinai, Mass General Brigham, Novant Health, and CommonSpirit Health. Integrated care, not a referral network. Psychiatrists, therapists, primary care providers, dietitians, and community health workers work side-by-side and share responsibility for the same patients. Practice at the top of your license. Manageable caseloads, meaningful clinical depth, and purpose-built tools designed for this population. Continuous learning. Through our partnership with Mass General Brigham, clinicians receive ongoing training, supervision, and mentorship in evidence-based SMI care. Advancing the field. Our clinicians contribute to new outcomes frameworks and research shaping the future of severe mental illness care. A model built for sustainability. Team-based care, thoughtful caseloads, and strong infrastructure make this work meaningful—and sustainable over time. We are hiring a Psychiatrist (full- or part-time) to join our growing Charlotte, NC clinic as part of an interdisciplinary team dedicated to delivering personalized, compassionate, high-quality care for individuals with SMI. As a clinician at Amae, you are not adjacent to this work. You are essential to it. A national care delivery model for the highest-acuity patients in behavioral health. Precision medicine for SMI. Individualized treatment informed by multimodal clinical, behavioral, and social data. A clinical operating system that puts longitudinal data, real-time patient signals, and purpose-built tools into a single decision layer for care teams. Frontier science and measurement: defining and validating the outcomes frameworks that this field has never had. Hospitalizations avoided, days stable, functional improvement, and more. A partnership model with the country's leading health systems that proves coordinated SMI care can work at scale.
