Psychiatry — Physician Career Context

This Psychiatry position at Astor Services 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.

This is approximately 11% below the national median for Psychiatry professionals, which is around $300k.

This employer qualifies for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). Eligible clinicians can have their remaining federal student loan balance forgiven after 120 qualifying monthly payments (10 years). For physicians and advanced practice providers carrying significant educational debt, PSLF eligibility can represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term financial benefit.

Location & Logistics
