Licensed Psychologist Job Description:

• Assist the attending physician with assessment and treatment. Referrals are typically made when the physician seeks assistance with assessing a patient’s mental health needs but may also include assisting with the care of patients who have mental health or behavioral problems complicating their treatment for medical conditions.

• Be knowledgeable about the bio-social model of health and illness. This will often require an understanding about how mental health symptoms, behavioral patterns, relationship factors, cultural influences and other factors interact and may contribute significantly to the patient’s medical needs.

• Provide input into differential diagnosis questions, such as helping to rule in or rule out psychiatric disorders. They may help with questions about whether the patient’s behavioral symptoms are the result of a medical condition or a separate (but often related) mental health condition. • Assess suicide risk or competency to consent to treatment, to help manage behavioral problems and other treatment concerns for which the attending physician may not have the interest, training or time to manage.

• Services often include assisting with communication about behavioral concerns with multiple members of the patient’s medical team. Services are often needed in situations in which there are several key participants (patient, family, attending MD, consultants, unit or office staff, system administrators, concerned outsiders) who may have differing agendas.

• The ideal candidate will have expertise as a clinical health psychologist providing empirically supported evaluation and individual and group-based treatment interventions in one or more of the following specialties: candidates for bariatric surgery and non-surgical weight loss, fertility treatment, chronic pain management, pre- and post- transplant consultation, integrated behavioral health in primary care.

Final salary is per employer discretion and commensurate with experience.
