Rogers Behavioral Health is a not-for-profit behavioral health system with a long history. For over 100 years we have been providing top quality psychiatric services to our patients and performing cutting edge research and are one of the leading healthcare providers in our field. RBH offers adults, as well as child and adolescent patients in our communities, the ability to receive care at multiple level of services including: inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient services. The three primary hospitals are located in Wisconsin, and numerous clinics spread from coast to coast in Wisconsin and 9 other states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington. In this role, the physician will primarily serve as a hospitalist in our inpatient and residential departments, and working alongside our psychiatric providers in a multi-faceted treatment team model of providing care. Physicians have the opportunity to work in both live and virtual environments, as well as support patient admissions and transfers, medical protocol development, quality assurance and peer review evaluations. Physicians will collaborate with nurse practitioners and physician assistants, as well as interact with residents and fellows during their educational rotations through our programs.
