Outstanding Inpatient Psychiatrist Opportunity at Temple Health – Discover what makes this Leading Academic Medical Center one of the best places to work in Philadelphia!

Located in the heart of a diverse urban area, the Katz School of Medicine is acutely aware of the impact of the national systemic problems related to the lack of health equity and access to affordable, culturally responsive healthcare. In response, Katz works to address issues that promote health equity through education, care delivery, workforce development, and research. LKSOM recognizes that an environment enriched with persons from varied backgrounds working to address health disparity enhances scholarly work and the development of a culturally aware and responsive healthcare workforce.

The Opportunity
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, enjoys educating and mentoring residents and medical students, and strives to make a meaningful impact in their community. General adult inpatient psychiatry applications are welcome, but applicants with subspecialty interest and experience will be supported in creating a subspecialized inpatient service. Examples include geriatric psychiatry, med-psych, or dual substance use/mental health.
