About the role
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.
