Psychiatry — Physician Career Context

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

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.
