Adult Psychiatry
One of Illinois' Most Flexible & Well-Resourced Academic Medicine Psychiatry Programs
Practice Highlights
• Shape your ideal practice. Build the academic psychiatry career you actually want - a flexible blend of outpatient care, consults, teaching, and the freedom to incorporate ECT, TMS, telepsychiatry, clinical trials, or research based on your interests.
• Never practice alone. 23 faculty psychiatrists, experienced APPs, LCSWs, and a thriving residency program that actively buffers attending workload - one of Central Illinois' largest and most established Psychiatry departments.
• Keep your evenings. A light 1:6 resident-supported call schedule that has historically resulted in little to no after-hours call-ins - and only 2 holidays per year.
• Lead, teach, or discover. True academic medicine: Grand Rounds, resident oversight, committee involvement, and clinician, educator, or research-focused tracks. Plus one of Illinois' leading ECT programs, TMS, a developmental disability clinic, geriatrics, and correctional telehealth - all under one department.

• Earn up to $400,000 through a competitive salary model that rewards your clinical expertise
• Erase your student debt. PSLF and NHC loan forgiveness qualified - a significant long-term financial advantage for psychiatrists carrying student loans.
• Invest in your future with exceptional state benefits: a pension through SURS, 403(b) and 457(b) retirement options, and a 50% undergraduate tuition waiver for eligible dependents at Illinois public universities.
• Actually take your time off with 5 weeks vacation, 40 sick days, and the institution closes Christmas through New Year's (in addition to all major holidays!)

About the Community
• Live where your quality of life matches your career. Affordable housing, a low cost of living, and the financial flexibility to do more outside of work.
• Trade traffic for free time. Spend less time commuting and more time with family - local parks, lakes, golf courses, and outdoor recreation minutes from home.
• Get the best of both worlds. The charm of a close-knit community with St. Louis 1.5 hours away and Chicago at 3 - easy reach for travel, entertainment, and culture.
• Put down roots in a city built for families. Highly rated schools, welcoming neighborhoods, historic Lincoln sites, and a growing food and arts scene make it an easy place to call home.
