• Psychiatrist — Part-Time
• Remote · Active Georgia Medical License Required

We're looking for a psychiatrist who wants to practice great psychiatric care — with kids, families, and young adults — without the demands of a full-time schedule.

Backpack Healthcare provides mental health care for children, teens, and young adults — all online, covered by most insurance. We're clinician-led and minority-owned, and our psychiatrists are a core part of an integrated care team, not a separate service line. You'll work alongside PMHNPs, therapists, and care coordinators who are all focused on the same patients.

If you want meaningful part-time psychiatric work with real clinical collaboration and real flexibility — this is worth your time.

What this role looks like

You'll carry a part-time caseload of 15–22 hours per week, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and treatment via telehealth. Afternoon and evening availability is required. Weekend hours are available based on patient demand.

Day-to-day you'll:

Conduct psychiatric evaluations and assessments across the lifespan

Diagnose and manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related conditions, and more

Develop individualized treatment plans including medication management and therapy recommendations

Collaborate with therapists, PMHNPs, primary care providers, schools, and families

Provide crisis intervention and ongoing support as needed

Participate in team meetings and clinical consultations

Maintain accurate, timely documentation in compliance with HIPAA and Georgia regulations

Stay current on developments in psychiatric care and evidence-based treatment

What we offer

Competitive fee-for-service hourly compensation

Malpractice insurance coverage provided

CME reimbursement

Flexible scheduling with genuine work-life balance

A collaborative clinical environment where your input shapes care

What we're looking for

MD or DO from an accredited medical school

Completed psychiatry residency

Board certified or board eligible in psychiatry

Active Georgia medical license and DEA license

Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working with diverse patient populations

Bilingual English/Spanish — strongly encouraged

Experience in outpatient, community mental health, or integrated care settings preferred

Familiarity with telepsychiatry platforms and EHR systems preferred

Who we are

We've served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. We built Backpack because fragmented, inaccessible care wasn't working — for families or for the clinicians trying to help them.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not a tagline. It's how we build.

Backpack Healthcare is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity in age, background, identity, and experience — and we mean it.
