INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIST (COBB)
Monday through Friday or 7 on/ 7 off
A member of the Mayo Clinic Network, WellStar Health System is an 11-hospital system, recognized as one of the most integrated health systems in the United States, and one of the largest health systems in Georgia. WellStar is committed to investing in the communities we serve. To this end, we continue to develop innovative care models, focused on improving quality and access to healthcare, including individuals experiencing symptoms of a psychiatric and/or substance use disorder. Continuing this work, the WellStar Medical Group and Behavioral Health Service Line is excited to announce an opportunity for a compassionate and highly-skilled board-certified psychiatrist (MD/DO).
We are currently recruiting for a psychiatrist to join our team to bolster support for patients who are receiving care on our 34-bed inpatient behavioral health unit at WellStar Cobb Hospital in Austell, GA.

Furthermore, given our partnership with the Medical College of Georgia, interest in graduate medical education (GME) resident training and providing support for medical students rotating through the inpatient unit is important.
