Academic Psychiatry: General Job in Charleston, South Carolina

In this arrangement, you practice within a teaching institution — a university, academic medical center, or affiliated program — combining direct patient care with teaching and, often, scholarly work. Compensation is salaried through the institution, and career growth typically follows an academic track rather than a private-practice model.
The position is permanent, and the financial offering for this listing is noted as Open. There is no emergency department call associated with this role. The institution is open to candidates who are board certified, trained as an MD or DO, and either American or foreign medical graduates, provided you hold US citizenship or a green card and bring experience-level clinical background.
This opportunity is based in a Charleston-area community, with settings ranging from smaller towns to mid-sized metropolitan areas depending on the specific site. If an academic environment — one where clinical work is paired with teaching responsibilities and institutional resources — fits how you want to practice, this listing reflects that structure.
