Position Summary

Posting Note: The Division of Psychiatry at Phoenix Children's Hospital is seeking full-time child and adolescent psychiatrists to join a top ranked Pediatric Neuroscience Institute to provide comprehensive, high quality care for children and adolescents with psychiatric conditions. The psychiatrists will join a team of 10, serving children and adolescents across psychosomatic service lines, inpatient and ambulatory. Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children's Hospital Psychiatric Division, led by Randall Ricardi, DO, CPE; offers comprehensive, compassionate mental health care services to children and their families. Our approach is based on completing a full psychiatric evaluation; taking into account biological, psychological and social factors that play a role in the current difficulties our patients are experiencing and we consider the interaction between all these factors. We strive to create a comprehensive treatment plan, to address the core and contributing factors identified during the evaluation. We address those factors by implementing or recommending evidence-based interventions, broader than the limited interventions offered by medication use only. In order to maximize our patients' potential, we consider the natural resources available in their community and try to optimize factors that will support the resiliency of our patients and their families. Collaboration and close communication with other disciplines and care providers are essential to provide excellent care. We value the role of the education system and collaborate with schools to provide broad recommendations for interventions that may be helpful in that setting. The psychiatrist will have the opportunity to collaborate with other professionals at Phoenix Children’s Hospital and Barrow Neurological Institute for interdisciplinary care, research, and participate in education programs for medical students, child neurology, general psychiatry, and child and adolescent psychiatry residents. A competitive salary and an excellent benefit and compensation package add to the attraction of the position. Faculty appointments commensurate with experience at University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, Creighton University College of Medicine – Phoenix and Mayo Clinic are available and highly encouraged.

The staff physician shall provide patient care services and will support the PCH mission of providing hope, healing and the best health care for children and their families.
