Consulting Psychiatrist, Collaborative Care Model (CoCM)

 

About the Role:

 

OncoveryCare uses a novel Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) to integrate psychiatric expertise directly into survivorship care, so that our multidisciplinary team—survivorship MDs, NPs, and behavioral health clinicians—can identify and treat common mental health conditions earlier and more effectively. As our Psychiatric Consultant, you will be a core part of this model: providing systematic registry-based caseload review with our behavioral health clinicians, advising our treating providers on evidence-based medication and treatment strategies, utilizing diagnostic skills to identify physical issues that commonly present with psychiatric symptoms as well as common mental health issues, and supporting the clinical judgment of our team to increase access to behavioral health support for survivors.

 

Candidates must hold an active, unrestricted medical license and either be board eligible or be board certified in psychiatry. Board eligibility or board certification in consult-liaison psychiatry or having completed a psycho-oncology fellowship is preferred. Licensure in New York is preferred.

 

What You’ll Do:

 

• Structured Case Review (SCR): Meet weekly with our Behavioral Health Clinician(s) to systematically review a registry of patients, prioritizing those who are new to the caseload, clinically complex, or not improving as expected
• Treatment Recommendations: Advise our survivorship medical providers on treatment strategies, tailored to the unique comorbidities and treatment histories of cancer survivors, including medication management when clinically indicated
• Clinical Consultation: Be available for occasional, timely consultation on complex or urgent patient situations flagged by the care team via secure messaging. In a minority of cases, be available to see patients directly via virtual visits to clarify diagnoses or develop treatment plans
• Team Education: Deliver ongoing education to our behavioral health clinicians, NPs, and MDs on recognizing and managing common mental health issues in cancer survivorship—treatment-related depression and anxiety, PTSD, cognitive changes, grief, insomnia, smoking cessation, fear of cancer recurrence, and others.
• Documentation: Document consultation recommendations in OncoveryCare's registry/EMR in a timely manner, consistent with CoCM documentation standards

 

How You’ll Thrive:

• Within the first 30 days, you will onboard with our clinical leadership and care team, become familiar with OncoveryCare's registry and documentation tools, and begin conducting structured case reviews with our behavioral health clinician(s).
• Within the first year, you will have established a strong working rhythm with our care team, developed a nuanced understanding of the psychiatric needs specific to cancer survivors, and contributed meaningfully to the evolution of our CoCM protocols.
• Long-term growth opportunity: As OncoveryCare scales across new markets and partner sites, you will have the opportunity to help define what psychiatric consultation looks like for cancer survivorship care nationally.

 

What You Will Need:

• Board eligible or board certified in Psychiatry (MD or DO)
• Active, unrestricted medical license
• Minimum 2 years of post-residency clinical experience (Minimum 1 year of post-residency clinical experience for candidates who are board eligible or board certified in consult-liaison psychiatry or having completed a psycho-oncology fellowship)
• Experience with, or strong interest in, psycho-oncology, consultation-liaison psychiatry, or integrated/collaborative care models
• Proficiency with evidence-based treatment for common psychiatric conditions, including navigating complex comorbid medical conditions and treatment interactions relevant to oncology (e.g., chemotherapy, endocrine therapy)
• Familiarity with measurement-based care tools (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5)
• Comfort working in a consultative capacity—advising treating providers primarily through caseload review and presentations rather than direct patient encounters
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex clinical presentations into clear, actionable recommendations
• Availability for a part-time weekly commitment at least 4 hours per week, with flexibility to scale as our patient panel grows. This role can complement an existing full- or part-time position and may offer opportunities for expanded clinical leadership as the program grows.

 

Who You Are:

• Strong clinical judgment. You can quickly synthesize psychiatric and general medical history to formulate clear, evidence-based recommendations
• Patient centric. You are deeply committed to patient care and impact
• Excellent interdisciplinary communicator. You communicate complex psychiatric reasoning in a way that's accessible and actionable for non-psychiatric providers
• Startup oriented: You're comfortable and excited about working in a fast-paced, early-stage environment and helping build a program from the ground up
• Growth Mindset. You actively look for ways to improve care protocols and enjoy sharing insights with clinical leadership
• Forward thinking. You're excited by the potential of integrated, tech-enabled psychiatric care and by the specific challenge of survivorship mental health

 

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive hourly consulting rate, commensurate with experience and subspecialty expertise
• Fully remote and flexible schedule
• Malpractice/professional liability coverage related to consultation activities
