About Us
Aviator Health supports older adults and patients with chronic conditions. We are actively recruiting a Remote Telehealth Psychiatrist. In this position, you will conduct audio patient consultation appointments to understand the challenges that the patient is facing. You will determine if a patient is suited to receive patient advocacy under the principals of Principal Illness Navigation and/or Community Health Integration. This role does not require diagnosing or prescribing.
Position Overview
We are on a mission to give patients the care they deserve by making it easy to navigate the healthcare system. American healthcare is so complex that 88% of Americans do not have the health literacy necessary to navigate the system; this is especially true for patients managing behavioral health needs alongside chronic conditions.
Navigating healthcare today is overwhelming, especially for patients living with chronic conditions and unmet social needs. At Aviator, we're building a new model of support that combines human expertise with technology to make care more accessible and coordinated. Psychiatrists are central to this effort, helping ensure patients' behavioral health needs are identified, addressed, and connected to the right level of care.
