Consulting Psychiatrist

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 Consulting Psychiatrist, you will be a core part of this model: providing systematic, registry-based caseload review, advising our treating providers on evidence-based medication and treatment strategies, and building the clinical judgment of our team so that more survivors get access to behavioral health support.

Candidates must hold an active, unrestricted psychiatric license and board certification. 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.
• Ad Hoc Consultation: Be available for occasional, timely consultation on complex or urgent patient situations flagged by the care team.
• Team Education: Deliver ongoing education to our behavioral health clinicians, NPs, and MDs on recognizing and managing psychiatric conditions common in cancer survivorship—treatment-related depression and anxiety, PTSD, cognitive changes, grief, and Fear of Cancer Recurrence.
• 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 90 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 certification in Psychiatry (MD or DO)
• Active, unrestricted medical license
• Minimum 3 years of post-residency clinical experience
• Experience with, or strong interest in, psycho-oncology, consultation-liaison psychiatry, or integrated/collaborative care models
• Proficiency with evidence-based treatment of 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 through registry review 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, with flexibility to scale as our patient panel 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.
• High EQ. You communicate complex psychiatric reasoning in a way that’s accessible and actionable for non-psychiatric providers.
• Startup-oriented: You’re comfortable 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.
