Job Description


Options MD | Lead Psychiatrist

Options MD is looking to hire our first Lead Psychiatrist. This role is a fully remote, outpatient clinical role requiring a 20-40 hr/week commitment. The majority of the role will be providing direct patient care to patients with a primary diagnosis of depression but can also include non-clinical time to focus on leading quality improvement projects alongside the Director of Psychiatry. You will need to be licensed in NY or MA.

 

The Company

 

Why work at Options MD? 

 

Options MD is a mental health platform designed to improve the standard of care for patients with severe and treatment-resistant depression (TRD) through clinical care, care coordination, community, technology and research.

 

Clinical Care: We have an in-house team of psychiatrists and therapists that provide high quality, evidence-based care for patients with TRD. Our psychiatrists have the opportunity to grow their knowledge of TRD by collaborating with leaders in the field, including Dr. Carl Marci (former Director of Neuroscience at Harvard Medical School) and Dr. Andrew Leuchter (Vice Chair of Psychiatry at UCLA).

 

Care Coordination: Our care coordinator provides concierge-level support to the clinical practice by streamlining the intake, follow up, and referrals processes, and by taking on administrative tasks for our clinicians at every opportunity.

 

Community: Our patients have access to an online community of people struggling with TRD for peer-to-peer support. This community has over 6,000 members, with 70% engagement rates. Our psychiatrists value this unique, additional level of support we can offer our patients.

 

Technology: We use a digital intake tool that saves our clinicians time by gathering patient history before the initial evaluation. Similarly, our clinicians are able to easily track treatment progress through digital follow-up assessments that automatically prompt patients to complete PHQ-9s and GAD-7s between virtual visits.

 

Research: We use the information gathered from the experiences of our patients to publish research and gain clinical insights about our TRD patient population. As one of our psychiatrists, you will be the first to know about exciting new findings that you can incorporate into your clinical practice and, if interested, you can get more involved!

 

Our Story

 

The founders, Morgan Hewett (former Facebook) and Kyle Pierce (a health-tech attorney), are two best friends who banded together after watching family members struggle for years to find the right treatment for severe depression. They felt let down by a system that was challenging and disheartening for patients to navigate. Morgan and Kyle joined with medical researchers from institutions like Harvard, UCLA and UCSF to form Options MD to offer hope to those struggling with severe depression by developing a space where patients can find the best treatment option for them. 

 

Culture and Mission

 

The team at Options MD believes that “treating depression doesn’t have to be depressing.” Options MD is a respectful, upbeat, happy, and remote-first team united by our mission of being the last hope for patients experiencing treatment-resistance. We want our employees to be themselves and celebrate each other's differences. We trust our clinical team to do what’s best for patients and our fellow team members without bureaucracy. We prioritize self-care and are building a sustainable business for the long term.
