About the role:
Accompany Health Med-Psych Associate Medical Directors (AMDs) are key clinical leaders supporting patients and care teams across our Standard and Complex Care models. You will work with health advocates, physicians, nurses, behavioral health clinicians, and pharmacists to deliver coordinated, whole-person care for patients with complex medical, behavioral, and social needs.
As a Med-Psych AMD, you will clinically supervise Med-Psych and Psych APCs and their care pods in partnership with APC Managers, the Executive Medical Director of Integrated Clinical Services, and BH Managers. You will also provide virtual mental and physical health care via video, phone, and text.
In the Standard Model, you will lead integrated behavioral health services for patients with mild to moderate mental health and substance use needs, using the evidence-based Collaborative Care Model. You will act as the psychiatric consultant, supported by Med-Psych APCs and behavioral health clinicians, and collaborate with primary care and APCs to deliver patient-centered, measurement-based, treatment-to-target care. You will also supervise med-psychiatric APCs providing e-consults for diagnostic clarity and medication management.
In the High-Risk Advanced Behavioral Health Model, you will provide direct and consultative care for a small panel of patients with serious mental illness and/or severe substance use disorders. You will supervise and support Med-Psychiatric APCs delivering both primary medical and behavioral health care, ensuring multidisciplinary care plans that reduce avoidable utilization and increase patients’ healthy days at home.
