Position Summary

The Virtual Care Division of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine is seeking a full-time, fixed-term Clinical Instructor to join the two teams operating in the Division - the perinatal psychiatry access program (NC MATTERS) and IMPACTT-NC. NC MATTERS enhances care of perinatal patients with behavioral health needs in primary care settings through provider education, capacity building, and care coordination support. IMPACTT-NC provides virtual direct clinical care to youth through schools and community sites throughout North Carolina.

Through the NC MATTERS program, the Clinical Instructor will spend 70% of their time as a Behavioral Health Coordinator (BHC), supporting expansion of perinatal mental health services in selected rural counties in North Carolina. Responsibilities include supporting provider outreach and engagement activities, facilitating access to NC MATTERS consultation and training services, providing resource and referral support, assisting with care coordination for pregnant and postpartum patients with behavioral health needs, and helping strengthen local referral pathways and transitions of care. Through the IMPACTT-NC program, the clinician will provide direct patient care (including assessing, diagnosing, and providing therapy to children and youth ages 5-18), as well as participate in multidisciplinary meetings and connect with school and community partners as needed.

This position plays a key role in expanding access to high-quality behavioral health care for perinatal individuals and youth across North Carolina by strengthening the capacity of the health care workforce and providing direct virtual care.
