Job description
Psychiatrist & Medical Director South Central Montana Regional Mental Health Center Billings, Montana
South Central Montana Regional Mental Health Center (MHC) is seeking a mission-driven Medical Director & Psychiatrist to lead our psychiatric team and help shape the future of behavioral health care in one of the most scenic and underserved regions in the country. This is a unique opportunity to step into a leadership role while still practicing psychiatry in a meaningful, hands-on way. No bureaucracy, just purpose-driven care and real community impact.
In this role, youll guide a team of providers, oversee clinical operations, and play a key part in helping us re-establish MHC as a leading voice in regional mental health. Youll provide direct patient care (approximately 80% clinical), mentor future providers, and help expand programs like telehealth, jail diversion initiatives, and residency training partnerships. You will also be a visible leader in the community, strengthening relationships with healthcare systems, government agencies, and other mental health stakeholders.
MHC is actively investing in its future, including upgrading its EMR system and modernizing clinical operations. You wont just be inheriting a department. Youll be helping rebuild it and lead it into its next era.
Why Youll Love Working Here MHC has served south-central Montana since 1971, offering outpatient therapy, psychiatric care, crisis services, and substance use treatment to a broad, diverse patient population. Youll be part of a collaborative, values-driven team that believes in high-quality, accessible mental health care. The organization is deeply embedded in the community and ready to grow under strong, fresh leadership.
Billings offers the perfect lifestyle balance. Its big enough for concerts, great restaurants, and direct flight access but small enough to enjoy life without traffic or crowds. Red Lodge Ski Resort is 45 minutes away, Yellowstone National Park is about 90 minutes away, and world-class hiking, biking, and fishing are at your doorstep. Known as the Banana Belt of Montana, Billings has relatively mild winters, sunny summers, and a welcoming, grounded community.
