Psychiatrist Jobs in North Carolina

A Psychiatrist is a critical player in the mental health industry. They are medical doctors who specialize in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological issues.

They can conduct physical exams, order and interpret lab tests, and prescribe medications to help manage mental health disorders.
