Use your psychiatric expertise in a setting where thoughtful clinical care, recovery, and public service come together. The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) is seeking a psychiatrist to provide and help guide care for adults receiving inpatient mental health and/or forensic services at Georgia Regional Hospital Atlanta.
