Clinicians in this score range report high career satisfaction and sustainable workloads. This is an ideal fit for providers who prioritize long-term career longevity.

Psychiatry — Physician Career Context

This Psychiatry position at Headlight 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.

Compensation Analysis

Headlight lists compensation for this physician position at $250k to $270k annually.

This is approximately 13% below the national median for Psychiatry professionals, which is around $300k.

This position also offers production-based compensation: $270000 per hourly. Production bonuses can significantly increase total earnings above the stated base salary range.
