Job description
The Role (For People Who Actually Like C-L Work)
This is a full-time Consultation‑Liaison Psychiatry position for psychiatrists who enjoy diagnostic puzzles, medical complexity, and explaining—politely—that delirium is not a personality disorder.
You’ll join a respected Long Island health system providing consult services across the Emergency Department and medical/surgical floors, with a structure that supports thoughtful consults instead of “just‑clear‑them” pressure.
Schedule:
Monday–Friday, daytime hours
No required call
Optional extra shifts available (nights, weekends, holidays) if you want them — not because you’re forced or bribed with pizza (unless that works…)
The Clinical Reality (Better Than You’re Expecting)
This is a true inpatient consult service, not a dumping ground.
Consults across ED and medicine floors
Average daily volume: approximately 4–10 consults
Time to actually assess, document, and communicate recommendations without sprinting
You’ll work alongside:
Two other fellowship‑trained C‑L Psychiatrists
A dedicated PA who understands consult psychiatry is not just “PRN Ativan”
It’s collaborative, medically integrated, and refreshingly sane.
Why this may work for you:
Weekday‑only core schedule
No mandatory call
Predictable consult volume
Strong peer support (you’re not “the only psych in the building”)
Optional extra shifts for those who like flexibility — or extra income
This is C‑L psychiatry for clinicians who want to practice at the top of their training without burning out or burning bridges with medicine teams.
Interested? Let’s keep it discreet.
You can schedule a short, confidential conversation here:
Who They’re Looking For:
Fellowship‑trained & Board Certified in Consultation‑Liaison Psychiatry
Comfortable managing delirium, capacity assessments, catatonia, psych‑med interactions, and complex psychosomatic presentations
Someone who appreciates medicine and psychiatry — and can translate between the two
