Why This Role Exists

Alaska has some of the lowest per-capita access to psychiatric care in the country. Patients in rural counties wait months for an appointment, then drive hours to keep it. Many never make the drive.

Frontier Psychiatry exists to close that gap. Our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners carry that work. You will hold your own panel, evaluate and treat a broad range of psychiatric conditions, and give patients timely care they could not otherwise get.

We are hiring an Alaskan-based provider on purpose. Telehealth makes it easy to beam a clinician in from anywhere, and plenty of companies do exactly that. We think care is better when the person delivering it knows the towns, the winters, the distances, and the local resources a patient can actually reach. If you live here, you already understand what your patients are describing.

This is direct clinical work with a clear purpose behind it.

This is a full-time, W-2 position.

Full-time is defined as 36 scheduled patient-care hours per week. Those hours are the appointment slots on your calendar. The remaining hours in your standard work week are yours for documentation, refills, care coordination, and required meetings.

We say this plainly because clinicians have been burned by postings that do not.

What your schedule looks like

Initial evaluations are 1 hour. Follow-ups are 30 minutes.

We discourage 15-minute med checks. Short visits move volume and produce worse care, and we have built the schedule to avoid them.

No call, no after-hours coverage, no weekend rotation.

Weekly Provider Rounds and a monthly All-Staff meeting, both inside the work week.
