Psychiatry — Physician Career Context

This Psychiatry position at Elevance Health is open to physician candidates.

Physicians (MD/DO) are in high demand across healthcare settings, with growing interest in positions that offer sustainable schedules and reduced administrative burden.

Nationally, Psychiatry professionals earn a median annual salary of approximately $300k, with the typical range spanning $230k to $400k depending on experience, location, and practice setting.

Remote physician positions in Psychiatry have grown significantly in recent years, offering clinicians the ability to maintain a full patient panel without geographic constraints or commute-related burnout.

Location & Logistics

This is a fully remote physician position. Remote clinicians can practice from any state where they hold an active license, eliminating commute time and offering maximum schedule flexibility. Many remote healthcare positions also allow providers to establish a more sustainable long-term practice pattern.

Why This Position Stands Out

  • No on-call requirements — clinicians are completely off-duty after hours
  • No weekend shifts — preserving personal and family time
  • Fully remote — work from anywhere with an active license
