We have intensive outpatient and partial hospital programs for adults, adolescents, and children with eating disorders, as well as a medical stabilization unit in conjunction with Rady Children's Hospital.

Current eating disorder treatments are of limited efficacy. New insight into neurobiological mechanisms that contribute to symptoms is supporting development of more effective interventions. The UCSD program is unique in that it has faculty and staff who focus on combining research into neurobiology with treatment development. This is an exciting opportunity for a psychiatrist who wants to join a large, dynamic, multidisciplinary treatment team and take on both day to day clinical responsibility, and overall responsibility for treatment development and oversight.

The Medical Director will contribute to the development and service of policies and procedures related to medical care in the adolescent and pediatric programs. Board-certification in psychiatry, and experience with eating disorders, and quality improvement initiatives required. Leadership experience or a strong interest in leadership development and comfort being a prominent member of the medical staff required.

Supervisory Responsibility: Medical and clinical staff in the adolescent and pediatric programs.

Education / Training / Previous Experience Desired: 3+ years of experience working with eating disorders patients, or a related subspecialty, prior leadership experience preferred but not required, must be Board-Certified in psychiatry.
