Psychiatrist Medical Director Opportunity Colorado Springs, CO
NorTek Medical Staffing is working on a confidential Psychiatrist Medical Director opportunity in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
This role will support an adult behavioral health program with inpatient psychiatry, detox, and residential services. The site is expected to start with a slower census ramp, making this a strong opportunity for a physician who wants to step into a leadership role while helping shape clinical operations as the program grows.
The client can consider a psychiatrist who starts full-time from the beginning, or potentially begins part-time with transition to full-time within approximately 2 months.
