About the role
Job Description A bit more about this role: Devoted Medical was founded on the belief that if we treat each member like we would our loved ones, we can improve healthcare experiences and outcomes for our patients. The Behavioral Health Program is at the heart of this goal: the program seeks to ensure that all patients with behavioral health disorders receive the care they need at the right time, in the right place. We recognize that too often our patients cannot access behavioral health services that we would want for our own family because of stigma, fragmentation, and lack of supply. We are looking for a highly skilled, innovative, and mission-driven psychiatrist clinical director to lead our Behavioral Health program at Devoted Health. This is not a traditional clinical role—it is a leadership position requiring a deep understanding of complex behavioral health conditions in geriatric populations, strong cross-functional collaboration, and the ability to shape the future of our behavioral health model. The ideal candidate is an expert in clinical psychiatry who is comfortable working in a fast-evolving environment, providing both strategic direction and hands-on clinical insight. The core focus of this role is to rapidly scale a Behavioral Health Collaborative Care program that is highly integrated into our Virtual Primary Care Clinic, build our psychiatry e-consult program, and develop a clinical intervention that supports our members with serious mental illness. You will serve as a trusted partner to our operational leaders, social workers, and APPs while ensuring our members receive the highest quality behavioral health care.

Your domains of responsibility will include collaborative care, psychiatry e-consults, and a future serious mental illness program. Monitor program performance using KPIs such as patient engagement, symptom improvement (e.g., PHQ-9 scores), and readmission rates for behavioral health diagnoses. Contribute to training and development initiatives to improve virtual and outpatient behavioral health care delivery. Assess the quality of care provided to behavioral health patients and deliver targeted feedback for improvement. This includes shadowing virtual visits and asynchronous calls and performing chart reviews for the Behavioral Health Team. Work closely with the BH social work manager to provider clinical oversight to the BH team. You will serve as a key clinical escalation point for the behavioral health team. Clinical Leadership: Deliver psychiatric care to behavioral health patients to ensure therapeutic optimization and effective, patient-centered psychiatric care. You will serve as the psychiatrics consultant for collaborative care, provide asynchronous psychiatric consultations (e-consults) for patients across the Devoted ecosystem. You will be asked to pilot a range of direct psychiatric patient care offerings as we seek to develop our BH care model. Participate in regular panel review and case review discussions to offer advice and provide guidance around medical management. Deliver all the necessary components of a successful BH Collaborative Care model. Build and maintain collaborative relationships with external stakeholders, including psychiatrists, hospitalists, and therapists. Culture & Advocacy: Champion a patient-centered and open clinical culture, fostering trust and empowerment within the team. Support and facilitate change management as the clinical model rapidly evolves. Advocate for behavioral health equity and accessibility within the organization and community.
