J1 Visa Sponsorship Available

If you’re looking for more than just a job, if you want a role where your clinical expertise, leadership, and academic interests can all thrive, this opportunity offers a rare combination of impact, growth, and support set in one of the most scenic regions of Virginia.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is your chance to step into a physician-led, nationally recognized health system where your voice matters and your career can evolve in meaningful ways. At Carilion Clinic, you’ll practice in an environment designed by physicians, for physicians—focused on delivering exceptional care while fostering professional development.

You’ll join a collaborative inpatient psychiatry team at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, working alongside engaged colleagues in a system that values innovation, education, and evidence-based care.

Advance Your Career with Purpose

This role is intentionally structured to help you grow:

• Academic Appointment with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine—ideal if you enjoy teaching and mentoring
• Work closely with psychiatry residents and medical students, shaping the next generation of physicians
• Opportunities to participate in research and contribute to advancing psychiatric care
• Be part of a system with 13 residency programs and 16 fellowships, including Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, and Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Meaningful Clinical Work—With Balance

• Manage a focused inpatient caseload (10–12 patients/day)
• Treat an acute adult population in a high acuity, short-duration environment
• Lead a multidisciplinary team, enhancing both patient outcomes and your leadership skills
• Practice in a setting that values quality over volume, allowing you to deliver thoughtful, patient-centered care

A System Built for Physicians

Carilion Clinic is a not-for-profit, physician-led healthcare system serving nearly one million patients annually across Virginia and West Virginia. With 7 hospitals and 250+ physician practices, you’ll have the resources of a large system while maintaining the collegial feel of a close-knit medical community.
