Job description

Emergency Psychiatrist- virtual or in-person positions available

Carilion Clinic | Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine | Roanoke, Virginia

We accept J1 Visas

If you're an experienced psychiatrist looking for a role that combines clinical impact, autonomy, long-term career growth, and a highly competitive compensation model, this opportunity is built for you. As an Emergency Psychiatrist , you'll practice in a physician-led, patient-centered health system where your voice matters and your expertise directly shapes care delivery.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

At Carilion Clinic, you're joining more than a health system, you're becoming part of a collaborative, physician-led organization that prioritizes clinical excellence and supports your professional judgment. In partnership with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine , you'll also have access to an academic environment that encourages learning, teaching, and innovation.

This role offers the chance to:

Practice at the top of your license in a high-acuity, fast-paced emergency setting

Work within a physician-led culture that values collaboration, efficiency, and quality care

Engage with academic medicine , with opportunities to teach or mentor if desired

Newly Enhanced, ED-Aligned Compensation

Carilion Clinic is investing in emergency psychiatry with a compensation structure designed to recognize the pace, acuity, and specialized clinical judgment required in the emergency department.

ED physician-aligned base rate : Higher base hourly compensation commensurate with Emergency Department physicians

Substantial shift differentials : Additional compensation for weekend and weeknight coverage

Flexible practice model: Position may include virtual telepsychiatry coverage, with additional hourly incentive for in-person emergency department coverage

Roanoke offers a lifestyle that's hard to match-the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains paired with the energy of a growing, vibrant community . Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, or simply unwinding outdoors, you'll have easy access to some of the best recreation in the region.

At the same time, Roanoke provides:

A lower cost of living than many metro areas

A welcoming, family-friendly, community

A growing food, arts, and cultural scene

What This Role Offers You

Enhanced Compensation : Newly upgraded model with an ED physician-aligned hourly base rate and substantial weekend/weeknight shift differentials

Professional Growth : Deepen your expertise in emergency and acute psychiatry

Autonomy & Support : Practice independently within a strong, collaborative team

Academic Connection : Opportunities through the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine

Your Role

Conduct psychiatric evaluations and risk assessments in the emergency department

Provide crisis intervention and stabilization

Coordinate admissions, discharges, and referrals

Educate and support patients and families
