  • Model cultural humility and a deep commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; - Identify and educate about resources that promote resilience and support all students;
  • Employ interventions that are culturally aware and evidence based.
  • Work collaboratively with a team of psychologists, therapists, and family medicine providers

This position will serve as part of a unified mental health team consisting of mental health professionals (e.g. psychiatrist, psychologist, masters level clinicians) and primary care providers (e.g. physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners), working together in the Student Health & Wellness Center to meet the acute emotional needs of health science professionals-in-training.  

Clinical activities include:  

  • Diagnostic evaluation with a high volume of ADHD assessments, liaison consultation, some psychotherapy, and medication management.

This includes participating in behavioral health team meetings where we support one another, consult about challenging cases, strategize how to improve access while preventing provider burnout, determine criteria for appropriate referrals, and partner with our primary care team to provide continuity of care for shared clients. 

The mission of SHW is to support Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) students and postdoctoral fellows in personal health and well-being during their academic careers at OHSU. We work to provide exceptional and confidential primary care, behavioral health, wellness and preventive care in our integrated clinic, located on the primary OHSU campus on Marquam Hill in Portland, Oregon.

We believe in providing high-quality care for our patients in an environment that also supports the well-being of each team member and of the health of our team as a whole. Additionally, we follow OHSU's commitment to competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, retirement, life and disability insurance, paid-time-off, holiday pay, commuting benefits, employee wellness program, and more).

Work is done in-clinic and remotely (from home).
