(S)He should have an unwavering commitment to quality and patient safety and should be comfortable working with adults across the lifespan with various psychiatric conditions. The willingness to work with patients with substance use disorders and severe mental illness is needed given the demographics and population.

Monday through Friday
A member of the Mayo Clinic Network, Wellstar Health System is an 11-hospital system, recognized as the 5th most integrated health system in the United States, and one of the largest health systems in Georgia.
Wellstar is committed to investing in the communities we serve. We continue to develop innovative care models, focused on improving quality and access to healthcare.
Overview of Clinic
This is a full-time 40 hour per week position, allocated to the provision of outpatient psychiatric services in a new pediatric behavioral health clinic. The position entails a Monday through Friday schedule, with services offered both in-person and via the use of a telepsychiatry platform, as clinically appropriate.
Whereas the psychiatrist will work as part of the broader Behavioral Health Service Line community through the Wellstar Medical Group, (s)he will work day-to-day as a member of an inter-disciplinary pediatric behavioral health team, which will include pediatric neuropsychology, pediatric clinical psychology, child/adolescent therapists, and other pediatric psychiatrists. The intent is to develop a best practice pediatric behavioral health center of excellence that includes diagnostic testing, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy to support the needs of children and families in the community.
Overview of Roles/Responsibilities
On a daily basis, the psychiatrist will work closely with members of the multi-disciplinary behavioral health team. Although (s)he will practice in the outpatient setting, (s)he will form relationships with the Wellstar Medical Staff at Wellstar Paulding Hospital, located equidistant to the new clinic location.
The ideal candidate is one who is team-oriented, possessing a commitment to collaboration, active listening skills, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and strong decision-making acumen. (S)He will lay the foundation for child and adolescent psychiatry conducting diagnostic interviews, consulting with parents and other treatment providers, and providing evidence-based pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Most clinical work will occur in-person, but openness to the use of telepsychiatry to achieve the clinic’s aims is needed. All clinical documentation will occur within Wellstar’s electronic medical record (Epic). The ideal candidate for this role should be comfortable working with children and adolescents with various psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, etc. In light of the multi-disciplinary nature of the clinic and higher complexity of some patients receiving neuropsychological and psychological evaluations, a willingness to allocate a percentage of time to treat higher-complexity patients is also needed.
Required Minimum Education: (1) completion of a medical degree (MD/DO), (2) completion of general ACGME psychiatry residency training program, (3) completion of a child & adolescent psychiatry fellowship, (4) license to practice psychiatry in the State of Georgia; and (5) ABPN board-certification (or board-eligibility) for both general and child/adolescent psychiatry

The PCBHI Residency provides an opportunity to meet the growing need for skilled behavioral health clinicians who are prepared to support and thrive in the Primary Care setting. To those ends, Wellstar is pleased to announce one (1) opening for a PCBHI resident, effective August 1, 2023.
Description: The PCBHI Residency is a 1-year commitment, which results in the Resident developing intimate knowledge and understanding of the state of clinical practice in a healthcare setting, refined diagnostic and assessment skills, evidenced based consultative and intervention proficiencies, and the ability to supervise other behavioral health clinicians within the primary care setting.
Utilizing a Behavioral Health Consultant Model, primary responsibilities include working as a critical member of the primary care team, regular interdisciplinary consultation with physicians and advanced practitioners, administration and interpretation of screening measures and brief psychological and neurocognitive assessment tools, engaging with patients via warm hand-offs, and the provision of brief evidence-based interventions with patients across the lifespan. In addition to caring for patients with primary psychiatric conditions, the Resident delivers brief, time-limited behavioral interventions to individuals with primary medical conditions (e.g., hypertension) that are responsive to psychological interventions, as well as patients struggling to modify health behaviors that impact quality of life or health risk factors. As PCBHI at Wellstar is a rapidly expanding program, the Resident will also have the opportunity to learn strategies for program development to support the significant growth in Wellstar’s Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration program and to match any developing patient needs. These aggregate experiences are organized to ensure that the residency fully prepares the trainee to master all core competencies required for board certification in clinical health psychology. Working with an attending Clinical Health Psychologist to develop their skills and move towards independent practice and clinical excellence, the Resident will have met licensure requirements in the state of Georgia at completion of the first year of the residency year.
Wellstar’s PCBHI Residency places priority on education and training, with up to 20% time (8 hours/week) allocated to such efforts. Education is provided through multi-modality offerings, including weekly Internal Medicine Grand Rounds, two hours per week of individual supervision (including programmatic oversight by a board-certified Clinical Health Psychologist), a weekly group didactic in Professional Development attended by all Wellstar Residents, participation in the monthly Clinical Health Psychology Forum (CHPF), etc. Optional Grand Rounds and didactic experiences are available through various Wellstar Service Lines (e.g., Neurology) as well as other Behavioral Health Residency sub-specialty offerings (e.g., Neuroimaging Seminar) and clinical-translational research
Whereas 60% time is allocated to developing clinical competencies as a Clinical Health Psychologist within the major rotation of choosing and 20% to didactics, the remaining 20% time (8 hours/week) is required for participation in a minor rotation that is additive to understanding the continuum of patient care (e.g., Emergency Department or inpatient consultation-liaison psychology) or within another clinical sub-specialty area such as: Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine, Metabolic Health/Bariatrics, Obesity Medicine, Psychogastroenterology, or Medically-Unexplained (Functional) conditions.
In sum, board certification in one of three psychology sub-specialties (Clinical Health Psychology, Clinical Psychology, or Neuropsychology) within three years of employment is a condition of employment for Wellstar psychologists, and we highly value the competencies identified by the ABPP. To that end, we structure our training around these competencies and will support your pursuit of board certification as well. Residents will receive evaluations based on ABPP functional and foundational competencies. Residents can anticipate defined milestones and their related assessments throughout the year as well as a competency exam at the end of each year of training.
Skills Needed: As a clinician, foundational skills as a Clinical Health Psychologist should already be established. The Resident should have knowledge of the biopsychosocial model and have the skills to assess such domains in the context of a clinical interview. The Resident should possess core assessment competencies, including familiarity with a broad range of psychological measures as well as proficiency in the application of evidence-based psychotherapy and health/behavior interventions.
The Resident should possess professionalism and interpersonal nuance. (S)He should be flexible, open to feedback, and possess emotional intelligence. Fluency with medical nomenclature is needed to collaborate optimally in this environment. As such, candidates with exposure to the hospital setting (e.g., via internship) are preferred. The candidate should have strong written and verbal communication skills and be comfortable presenting to a professional audience. Computer literacy is necessary, especially the use of the Microsoft programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, TEAMS) as well as intermediate knowledge with statistical programs (e.g., SPSS).
Setting: Wellstar Health System is a large multi-hospital system, and one of the largest health systems in Georgia. Wellstar is a member of the Mayo Clinic Network. In this role, the Resident will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, reporting to a Clinical Health Psychologist, who is committed to adhering to the functional and foundational competency domains outlined by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). On completion of the training experience, the Resident should be equipped to pursue and obtain board certification as a Clinical Health Psychologist.
Wellstar psychologists hold independent Medical Staff privileges at Wellstar hospitals and are well-integrated within the health system. To date, multiple Wellstar psychologists have participated in the system’s Physician Leadership Academy. Further, our compensation model and health benefits are highly competitive. Residents are eligible for annual bonuses in addition to the base salary.
Required Minimum Education: (1) a doctorate degree (Ph.D./Psy.D.) in clinical or counseling psychology from a program accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), (2) completion of an APA-accredited internship in a hospital/medical setting; and (3) focused training in Clinical Health Psychology.

Primary Care-Behavioral Health Integration (PCBHI)
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine defined high quality primary care as: “… the provision of whole-person, integrated, accessible, and equitable health care by interprofessional teams that are accountable for addressing the majority of an individual’s health and wellness needs across settings and through sustained relationships with patients, families, and communities”. Evidence supports the use of behavioral health programs integrated into primary care as an effective way to achieve this objective with the goal of actualizing patient-centered outcomes.
Wellstar Health System is committed to high quality primary care as demonstrated through the expansion of its Primary Care Behavioral Health Integration (PCBHI) program. This expansion includes a PCBHI residency with rigorous training grounded in the biopsychosocial model and scientist-practitioner values.
