Department Overview

The Department of Psychiatry at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has an outstanding opportunity for a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner licensed in the State of Oregon who are interested in moonlighting. OHSU's Department of Psychiatry, in partnership with other major Oregon health systems, is a 100 bed psychiatric hospital and 75-bed psychiatric emergency service in Northeast Portland.

This is a unique opportunity for a creative, energetic Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner to treat, teach and advance their academic interests.
