NC129h – Child Adolescent Psychiatrist

(Outpatient. Hybrid. No one claps when you finish charting.)

Quick question:

Do you enjoy being:

• Booked like an airline seat?
• Told burnout “comes with the territory”?
• Paid through a bonus structure designed by a magician?

No?

Outstanding. Let’s continue.

👦 THE JOB (WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO HERE)

You work with kids and teens who:

• Have anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders
• Are emotionally exhausted by school, phones, and existing
• Occasionally say nothing for 45 minutes and then drop a clinical bomb at minute 44

You are given:

• Time
• Support
• Clinical autonomy

You are not given:

• Impossible quotas
• Random walk-ins
• The urge to fake a dentist appointment to escape

💰 THE MONEY (YES, MONEY)

Pay is strong. Incentives are unlimited and paid in real time.

Meaning:

• No “end-of-year recalculation”
• No “did you hit the secret metric?”
• No waiting to find out if your bonus survived committee

You treat patients.
You get paid.
It’s boringly reliable.

🕓 THE SCHEDULE (ABSURDLY NORMAL)

• Monday–Friday
• 100% outpatient
• No nights. No weekends. No emotional ambushes

Hybrid options included:
Some in-person. Some telemed.
All respectful of your humanity.

🧩 THE SUPPORT (THE PART EVERYONE LIES ABOUT — WE WON’T)

• Front desk answers phones
• Scheduling actually schedules
• Billing actually bills
• Technology mostly behaves

You get the “private practice feel” without:

• Paying staff
• Arguing with printers
• Wondering why the lights flicker

🧠 BONUS CONTENT (OPTIONAL DLC)

• Therapy + med management
• Advanced treatments like TMS & Spravato (location-dependent)
• CME, licensure, malpractice handled
• Relocation + loan repayment for newer grads

No required:

• Committees
• Buzzwords
• Forced enthusiasm

🏡 WHY RALEIGH?

Because screaming into the void hits differently when there are trees.

Good food.
Good neighborhoods.
A city that doesn’t demand your soul in exchange for parking.

🎯 FINAL DIAGNOSIS

This is a well-paid, low-chaos, fully outpatient psychiatry job disguised as a joke so only smart psychiatrists apply.

If you are:

• BE/BC in Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
• Looking to practice medicine without making “escape plans”
• Interested in a job that treats clinicians like adults

You should probably look at this.

No circus.
No guilt.
No surprise policy changes.

Just a good job… which honestly feels suspicious at this point.
