Consulting Psychiatrist, Collaborative Care Model (CoCM)

About Us:

OncoveryCare is an early-stage virtual healthcare company committed to fundamentally rethinking and transforming the landscape of physical and mental healthcare for cancer survivors. Our team is composed of cancer survivors, clinicians, and experts in cutting-edge healthcare delivery. We believe that world class care after a cancer diagnosis shouldn’t end when treatment is over, and we provide an innovative, evidence-based approach to deliver patient-centered, whole-person support for survivors throughout the cancer journey.

Our vision is a world where living beyond cancer isn’t just “surviving”—it’s thriving.

A few tidbits about cancer survivorship:

There are over 18 million cancer survivors in the United States today—and that number is expected to grow to 26 million by 2040

Cancer survivors experience a range of physical and mental health side effects from treatment

Survivorship starts at the moment of diagnosis and continues post-treatment—we are starting in the “transitions of care” phase post-treatment, when there is often not a specialized team to take over caring for the survivor moving forward

Our Guiding Principles:

By survivors, for survivors:

We build the survivor voice and experience into all that we do

Clinical integrity and rigor:

We prioritize evidence-based approaches and an integrated team to deliver the highest-quality care

Trauma-informed care:

We “meet survivors where they are” and respect their lived experience

Changing the status quo:

We are committed to radically reinventing how cancer survivorship care is designed, delivered, and experienced

Transparency & inclusivity:

Building a new frontier of cancer care is both hard and rewarding—everyone has a role to play, and fostering a positive and open team culture is our priority

About the Role:

OncoveryCare uses a novel Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) to integrate psychiatric expertise directly into survivorship care, so that our multidisciplinary team—survivorship MDs, NPs, and behavioral health clinicians—can identify and treat common mental health conditions earlier and more effectively. As our Psychiatric Consultant

, you will be a core part of this model: providing systematic registry-based caseload review with our behavioral health clinicians, advising our treating providers on evidence-based medication and treatment strategies, utilizing diagnostic skills to identify physical issues that commonly present with psychiatric symptoms as well as common mental health issues, and supporting the clinical judgment of our team to increase access to behavioral health support for survivors.

Candidates must hold an active, unrestricted medical license and either be board eligible or be board certified in psychiatry. Board eligibility or board certification in consult-liaison psychiatry or having completed a psycho-oncology fellowship is preferred. Licensure in New York is preferred.

What You’ll Do:

• Structured Case Review (SCR): Meet weekly with our Behavioral Health Clinician(s) to systematically review a registry of patients, prioritizing those who are new to the caseload, clinically complex, or not improving as expected
• Treatment Recommendations: Advise our survivorship medical providers on treatment strategies, tailored to the unique comorbidities and treatment histories of cancer survivors, including medication management when clinically indicated
• Clinical Consultation: Be available for occasional, timely consultation on complex or urgent patient situations flagged by the care team via secure messaging. In a minority of cases, be available to see patients directly via virtual visits to clarify diagnoses or develop treatment plans
• Team Education: Deliver ongoing education to our behavioral health clinicians, NPs, and MDs on recognizing and managing common mental health issues in cancer survivorship—treatment-related depression and anxiety, PTSD, cognitive changes, grief, insomnia, smoking cessation, fear of cancer recurrence, and others.
• Documentation: Document consultation recommendations in OncoveryCare's registry/EMR in a timely manner, consistent with CoCM documentation standards

How You’ll Thrive:

Within the first 30 days, you will onboard with our clinical leadership and care team, become familiar with OncoveryCare's registry and documentation tools, and begin conducting structured case reviews with our behavioral health clinician(s).

Within the first year, you will have established a strong working rhythm with our care team, developed a nuanced understanding of the psychiatric needs specific to cancer survivors, and contributed meaningfully to the evolution of our CoCM protocols.

Long-term growth opportunity:

As OncoveryCare scales across new markets and partner sites, you will have the opportunity to help define what psychiatric consultation looks like for cancer survivorship care nationally.

What You Will Need:

Board eligible or board certified in Psychiatry (MD or DO)

Active, unrestricted medical license

Minimum 2 years of post-residency clinical experience (Minimum 1 year of post-residency clinical experience for candidates who are board eligible or board certified in consult-liaison psychiatry or having completed a psycho-oncology fellowship)

Experience with, or strong interest in, psycho-oncology, consultation-liaison psychiatry, or integrated/collaborative care models

Proficiency with evidence-based treatment for common psychiatric conditions, including navigating complex comorbid medical conditions and treatment interactions relevant to oncology (e.g., chemotherapy, endocrine therapy)

• Familiarity with measurement-based care tools (e.g., PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5)
• Comfort working in a consultative capacity—advising treating providers primarily through caseload review and presentations rather than direct patient encounters
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex clinical presentations into clear, actionable recommendations

Availability for a part-time weekly commitment at least 4 hours per week, with flexibility to scale as our patient panel grows. This role can complement an existing full- or part-time position and may offer opportunities for expanded clinical leadership as the program grows.

You actively look for ways to improve care protocols and enjoy sharing insights with clinical leadership
