Job Description
Job Title: Addiction Medicine Physician with Psychiatric Expertise Location: Bakersfield, CA Visa Sponsorship: U.S. Citizen, J-1, Green Card Are you ready to join a dynamic, growing private practice where your skills in addiction medicine and psychiatry can shine brighter than the California sun? Nestled in the heart of Bakersfield, this opportunity allows you to make a profound impact in a community that genuinely needs you. (Plus, let's be honest, where else can you serve patients and enjoy a cost of living that doesn't leave you weeping over your avocado toast budget?)
About Us Since 1984, we've been the go-to mental health clinic in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, offering everything from psychiatric evaluations to NeuroStar TMS Therapy. Think of us as the Swiss Army knife of mental health care-except with better coffee and an even better team.
Our team of board-certified psychiatrists, addiction medicine physicians, and PMHNPs are not just coworkers; they're the Avengers of mental health, and we're looking for the next superhero to join us.
Why You'll Love It Here Let's talk perks-because we know you didn't go through years of medical training just to settle for mediocre benefits:
- Cha-Ching! $300k-$350k in your first year, with most physicians raking in $400k-$500k annually after that.
- Comprehensive Benefits : Medical, dental, vision, 401(k)-we've got you covered like SPF 50 in a California summer.
- Flexibility : Work 5/8s or 4/10s, M-F. We get it-balance is key.
- Impact : Your work will transform lives in a community that truly appreciates it.
What You'll Be Doing Your days will be filled with meaningful work (and possibly the best tacos you've ever had during lunch breaks):
- Full-Time : 40 hours a week in an outpatient setting.
- All Ages : Serve a diverse patient population.
- Volume : See 20-25 patients daily.
- Focus : Mostly bread-and-butter psychiatry, with the added satisfaction of helping those facing addiction challenges.
What We're Looking For If you're the kind of physician who reads this and thinks, "This is my jam," here's what we need from you:
- Credentials : MD/DO with BC/BE in Addiction Medicine and Psychiatry.
- License : Active CA medical license or in the process of getting one.
- Heart : A genuine passion for helping patients conquer their mental health and addiction challenges.
Why Bakersfield? Sure, we're not L.A., but that's the charm! Bakersfield offers a family-friendly vibe, affordable housing, and a chance to enjoy your hard-earned salary instead of handing it over to rent. Plus, you're just a short drive away from beaches, mountains, and wine country.
Final Thoughts This is more than just a job; it's a chance to do meaningful work, earn a great living, and join a team that values both your professional expertise and your humanity. So, if you're ready to leave a lasting impact in a community that needs you, apply now!
