Job Description

Psychiatry Northwest is looking for an experienced Psychiatric-Physician Assistant (MSPA-C) to join our team of MDs, PAs, ARNPs, and psychotherapists.

Treatment Technology: Our comprehensive practice includes objective diagnosis and treatment monitoring of ADHD primarily utilizing the QbTest – only a handful of Washington practices offer this FDA-cleared diagnostic tool from Sweden. For special populations, we also offer the option to take the TOVA Test for further diagnostic clarity. We also offer appropriate clients genetic testing to ascertain their ideal medication regimen through pharmacogenetic testing. Our practice also utilizes FDA-cleared Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) devices from Israel and Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS) devices from Denmark for non-invasive treatment of Treatment-Resistant Depression.

EMR

Our providers use the AdvancedMD electronic medical record system for all clinical documentation and prescribing. AdvancedMD also conveniently enables the provider capability to prescribe all medications (including controlled substances) electronically.
