Description
Forge Health seeks a collaborative Medical Director to support our growing clinical teams in outpatient (OP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings.

Patients are moderately-to-severely ill, and include those dealing with general mental health concerns, substance use / co-occurring disorders, and complex medical comorbidities.
- Collaborate with the CMO on clinical initiatives, quality assurance, evidence-based protocols, and regulatory compliance; partner with therapists and interdisciplinary teams for coordinated OP/IOP treatment plans.
- Support staff education on psychiatric and addiction topics, maintain accurate EMR documentation; and participate in supervision meetings, case reviews, and peer consultations.
