Who We Are
Concert Health is a mission-driven behavioral health medical group delivering evidence-based care through primary care partnerships across the country. As the nation’s leading provider of Collaborative Care, we’ve supported nearly 120,000 patients—and we continue to advance the model through research, innovation, and a commitment to clinical excellence.
Job Summary:
Concert Health is seeking an experienced and mission-driven Associate Medical Director to serve as the psychiatrist lead and liaison to a valued health system partner. This unique role combines direct clinical consultation within the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) with clinical innovation and strategic medical leadership—providing an opportunity to shape how behavioral health is delivered in primary care at scale.
Strong clinical skills and efficiency are essential in this role, particularly in delivering high-quality psychiatric consultation through systematic case review (SCR). However, true success will also be defined by your ability to build trusted relationships, guide system-level adaptation of care, and serve as a clinical ambassador to our partners. You’ll work closely with primary care teams, medical directors, and regional clinical leaders to strengthen collaboration, promote evidence-based practices, and ensure alignment with Concert’s high standards of care.
The role includes 28 hours per week of clinical time, consisting of 25 hours of systematic case review (SCR) and 3 hours of clinical administrative time (may need to be used for SCR based on staffing needs and during periods of increased volume). In addition, 12 hours per week are dedicated to the care-delivery team and partner-facing leadership—supporting provider engagement, pod-level clinical quality, and the tailored implementation of Concert’s clinical guidelines.
This is an ideal opportunity for a clinically grounded leader who thrives at the intersection of care delivery, innovation, and system transformation.
Responsibilities:
