A leader in the treatment of mental health and addictive disorders, UPMC is consistently ranked among the nation's top hospitals for psychiatry by U.S. News & World Report.
We have an array of opportunities across specialties such as:

Geriatric outpatient and nursing homes
Child & Adolescent including subspecialties in autism & early childhood trauma
Eating Disorders

UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital is an integrated behavioral health system comprising clinical services, education and training, and research. Together with the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, we provide behavioral health care that is informed by the latest research, for individuals across the life span, who are at all stages in their recovery. Many of our sites are teaching clinics and offer multiple opportunities for training residents, medical students, and other trainees. The Department of Psychiatry offers a robust Clinician Educator Faculty Development Program.
Our Telepsychiatry Division continues to grow, and at this time we have limited casual and part-time telepsychiatry openings for our outpatient mental health clinics. We have received an increase in applications, so screening and interview priority will be given to those who currently hold active licensure in their home state and the state of Pennsylvania.
J-1 positions are also available at our network hospitals. We are now interviewing for 2028 J-1 positions.
The University of Pittsburgh is an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer and values equality of opportunity, human dignity and diversity, EOE, including disability/vets. Women, minorities, veterans, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply. Experience working with diverse communities is preferred.
