General Information
As part of the UT Southwestern Medical Center clinical team in Psychiatry, you will join in an evolving effort to push ahead of the traditional boundaries of medicine, deliver cures and transform patient care. In our growing downtown Dallas campus, we have psychiatrists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and many varied students advancing the development of neurotherapeutic interventions for challenging brain disorders, discovering advanced understanding of the causes of psychiatric illnesses and cures. At UT Southwestern, your ideas and skills will be put to work in ways that serve you, our patients, our community, and the world. Our 3,000+ UT Southwestern faculty foster teamwork and teach the skills that best reflect the changing landscape of therapeutics and health care delivery. Our research environment is one of the most advanced in the world, and the day-to-day quest for discovery will inspire your best work.
Profile
We are recruiting an outstanding Psychiatrist to join our Interventional Psychiatry Service. This service treats a diverse patient population, most of whom are referred from within the UT Southwestern hospital and clinic system.
The attending Psychiatrist will perform evaluations and treatment of patients with treatment resistant mental disorders using advanced treatments such as pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), ketamine intra nasal and intra venous therapy, magnetic seizure therapy (MST), electro convulsive therapy (ECT), deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), as well as other advanced applications of brain stimulation interventions. While experience is a plus, the position is open for interested candidates who have a strong interest in developing in this area. There is potential that this role will also include some inpatient work. The attending Psychiatrist will also be responsible for teaching and supervision of psychiatry residents, medical students, and other trainees.
Eligible candidates must hold an M.D. or D.O., with board eligibility or board certification in General Psychiatry. While Texas licensure is not required for consideration or selection, it is a pre-requisite for starting in the position. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated interest in pursuing an academic career. Academic experience and a strong track record of clinical teaching is a plus. Additional training or fellowship in a specialty is a plus. Appointment rank will be commensurate with academic accomplishments and experience. Consideration may be given to applicants seeking less than a full-time schedule.
