Position Description The Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine and Emergency Medicine are seeking a
full‑time psychiatrist with a focus on Emergency Psychiatry . The qualified candidate will provide patient care; teach fellows, residents and students; and engage in scholarly and community‑based activities—promoting all missions of the Medical College of Wisconsin. Mirroring the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin (F&MCW) Health Network, the Departments of Psychiatry & Behavioral Medicine and Emergency Medicine are experiencing unprecedented growth in practice locales and faculty member numbers.
Opportunity
Help shape the future of Emergency Psychiatry at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin, and contribute to the academic mission of the institution.
Hold a primary appointment in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine and a secondary appointment in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and report to the leadership of both departments.
Evaluate, treat, stabilize, and aid in the disposition of patients presenting to the ED with acute psychiatric complaints.
Collaborate closely with Emergency Medicine (EM) faculty members, EM residents, ED social workers, and ED nurses to identify and meet the needs of patients presenting the ED with behavioral health needs.
Work collaboratively with community partners to facilitate ED‑to‑inpatient and ED‑to‑ambulatory clinic transitions of care for patients with behavioral health needs.
Ample teaching and supervision opportunities with accredited 3‑year Emergency Medicine and 4‑year Psychiatry residency programs, an ACGME‑accredited Consultation‑Liaison Psychiatry fellowship program, and the third‑largest private allopathic medical school in the nation—the Medical College of Wisconsin—located on campus.
Coverage / Schedule
ED‑based staffing model of flexible 8‑hour shifts (a mix of 1st and 2nd shift hours), including limited weekend and holiday coverage with no additional call responsibilities.
Full‑time status requires an average of 130 clinical hours per month (16‑17 shifts/month).
In‑person coverage is confined to a single‑location work site at the flagship academic medical center, no travel requirements.
The team does provide virtual psychiatric assessments to the system’s satellite ED sites as well.
Duties and Responsibilities
Proactively provide care—including risk assessment—in collaboration with EM physicians, EM residents, ED social workers, and ED advanced practice providers (APPs) to patients in the F&MCW FH ED with primary and/or contributory psychiatric complaints.
Provide evidence‑based pharmacotherapy treatment recommendations for acute psychiatric symptoms.
Join ongoing efforts to support clinical workflows focused on initiating medication‑assisted treatment for opioid use disorders in the Emergency Department.
Devise and implement strategies and tactics to improve the disposition process for psychiatric patients in the Emergency Department.
Conduct regular clinical and teaching rounds on psychiatric patients in the Emergency Department.
Provide care to other patients in need of psychiatric care in off‑site F&MCW Health Network Emergency Departments via telemedicine technology.
Teach—both didactically and at the bedside—Psychiatry and Emergency Medicine residents and students Emergency Psychiatry‑specific topics.
Initiate, conduct and participate in Emergency Psychiatry‑related scholarship and research.
Collaborate with departmental leaders to set the vision and goals for and evaluation of a Division of Emergency Psychiatry.
Perform other duties as identified by the Chairs of the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine and Emergency Medicine.
