system, the new Medical Director will provide leadership for a dynamic and collegial
interdisciplinary team working to redesign and build innovative behavioral
health treatment and approaches for existing and future patients living in the

In addition to providing
clinical care, the Adult Outpatient Psychiatry Service is a major teaching
resource for Maine Medical Center, offering psychiatry training experiences for
adult psychiatry residents, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, Tufts
University School of Medicine medical students, and trainees from a variety of
other fields. The Medical Director will
serve as a faculty clinician-educator and will be eligible to apply for a
faculty appointment to the Tufts University School of Medicine.
The successful candidate will
have experience supervising seasoned professionals, and understand how to
articulate a vision and direction that is inspiring, cooperative, and promotes
best practices in quality and compliance.
He/she/they will have a ready sense of humor and understand how to
navigate a team through change and growth in a multi-faceted healthcare setting. He/she/they will also bring a demonstrated commitment
to excellence in clinical care and an enthusiasm for leading the implementation
of innovative collaboration models across complex systems to achieve quality
and integration of patient care. Competitive candidates will be passionate
advocates for integrated mental health services and have experience with
clinical education, theoretical and applied research, and leading multi-disciplinary
teams.
This leader will be a member
