Description

Forge Health seeks a collaborative Medical Director to support our growing clinical teams in outpatient (OP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings. This role emphasizes day-to-day medical supervision of psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) across several states, direct patient care, and clinical collaboration, reporting directly to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

What you’ll be doing:

• Provide day-to-day clinical supervision to PMHNPs, including chart reviews, case consultations, complex medication management support, and performance feedback to uphold evidence-based care.
• Deliver direct psychiatric care to patients (initial psychiatric evaluations, follow-up appointments, and IOP treatment) for adults. Patients are moderately-to-severely ill, and include those dealing with general mental health concerns, substance use / co-occurring disorders, and complex medical comorbidities.
• Collaborate with the CMO on clinical initiatives, quality assurance, evidence-based protocols, and regulatory compliance; partner with therapists and interdisciplinary teams for coordinated OP/IOP treatment plans.
• Support staff education on psychiatric and addiction topics, maintain accurate EMR documentation; and participate in supervision meetings, case reviews, and peer consultations.
