Psychiatrist (part-time consultant)

Psychiatrists are encouraged to consider a unique part-time consulting opportunity with Liberty Healthcare at DHCI - a skilled nursing facility located in Smyrna, Delaware.

In this role, you will provide psychiatric care to older adults; people who have loss of cognitive functioning: individuals who have experienced traumatic brain injury; those who are experiencing mental illness; people who have substance use disorders; and those experiencing end of life issues.

While you’re with us, you will collaborate with our medical and nursing staff; conduct mental status examinations, formulate diagnoses, and develop and implement treatment plans; prescribe and manage medications; and provide psychiatric consultation and education to clinical staff as well as patients’ families and guardians.

You will enjoy a very small caseload, which will afford you ample time to spend with your patients and our staff. We have a collegial and patient-focused environment.

You will be paid by Liberty Healthcare for each hour worked at a mutually agreeable rate. No insurance billing is required, and your services would be covered by Liberty Healthcare’s liability insurance policy.

We offer a flexible schedule. Our ideal is approximately 8-hours of service weekly (32 hours of service monthly) but we have flexibility based on your availability and schedule.

You are a good fit for this consulting role if you are licensed as a Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy in the State of Delaware and have successfully completed a residency in Psychiatry.

Liberty Healthcare provides a wide array of health and human services to people throughout the United States. We serve people in their homes and communities as well as in hospitals and specialized treatment settings.  We serve people who have disabilities – ensuring they receive vital services, are safe, well-cared for and live as independently as possible.
