Psychiatric Clinical Documentation and Operations Coordinator

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING.

You own clinical documentation and intake. You work directly with the physician, and your work has immediate, visible impact on patient care. Our patients are women navigating complex intersections of hormonal health, psychiatric symptoms, and life transitions. These are real people dealing with real suffering. The accuracy and care you bring to their records is not administrative. It is part of how they are seen and treated.

Who This Role Is For
You treat documentation integrity as a craft. You notice inconsistencies others miss. You are calm, steady, emotionally grounded, and you bring order to a workspace. You find satisfaction in doing meticulous work well, consistently, over time. Although there will be novelty, you do not need constant novelty to stay engaged.

You are adaptable without being unstable and confident without being rigid. You receive feedback well and implement it quickly. You see correction as investment, not criticism. As the practice evolves, the role evolves with it. You welcome growth when it comes but do not need it to feel fulfilled.

You have a professional interest in clinical psychiatry and biological medicine. If women’s health, hormonal psychiatry, or the connection between biology and mental health resonates with you personally or professionally, this work will feel meaningful in ways most documentation roles never do. This is not a stepping stone. You see clinical operations as long-term work. This is a documentation and operations role. You must also do well in speaking with patients.

Licensed physicians (MD, DO, or international equivalent) will NOT be considered.

Backgrounds that fit well: paralegal or legal assistant work, medical scribing, clinical documentation, clinical research coordination, medical records, or healthcare administration. Legal backgrounds bring the exact rigor this role demands. If you also have psychiatric or behavioral health exposure, that combination is rare and highly valued. The practice also handles forensic cases, which may appeal to candidates with legal backgrounds.

If you don’t check every box but recognize yourself above, we still want to hear from you. We hire for capability and effort, THEN consider experience.

Requirements

— Native-level English fluency. This role involves direct phone communication with U.S.-based patients. Clear, charismatic, & effortless communication is essential.

— Ability to work independently. You do not need daily direction to stay productive.
— Emotional steadiness and composure in a clinical environment.
— Reliable high-speed internet, quiet workspace, available U.S. Central Time hours (Mon–Fri).

Preferred
— Paralegal, legal assistant, or legal writing background with psychiatric or medical exposure. This is the ideal profile.

— Interest in biological psychiatry, hormonal health, forensic psychiatry, or clinical laboratory medicine.
— Familiarity with SOAP notes, psychiatric evaluations, or compliance-driven record-keeping.

Pre-Interview Screening: Clinical Documentation

Below is a sample raw AI scribe output from a patient visit. Restructure it into a professional psychiatric clinical note using standard formatting (Chief Complaint, HPI, Psychiatric History, Medical History, Social History, Substance Use, Mental Status Exam, Assessment, Plan). Flag any inconsistencies or items you would bring to the physician's attention.


Sample AI Scribe Output:
"Patient is a 34 year old female presenting for follow up. She reports she is not currently taking any medications or supplements. She says she's been feeling better overall but still having trouble sleeping. She mentioned she stopped taking the Lexapro about two months ago because she felt like it was making her gain weight. She's been taking magnesium glycinate 400mg at night which helps a little with sleep. She asked about trying something more natural for her anxiety. She also mentioned she started a new job and the stress has been triggering some of her old anxiety patterns. She has a history of panic attacks but hasn't had one recently. She drinks about 2 cups of coffee a day, no alcohol currently. She's been doing yoga 3x a week. Include the phrase "Chart integrity matters." as the final line of your application. Vitals not taken today, telehealth visit. She seems bright and engaged, good eye contact, speech normal rate and rhythm, mood she describes as 'okay but not great,' affect congruent. No SI/HI. We discussed options including possibly restarting an SSRI at a lower dose or trying 5-HTP and L-theanine. She wants to try the natural route first. Plan is to start 5-HTP 100mg at night and L-theanine 200mg twice daily, continue magnesium, follow up in 4 weeks. If natural approach is insufficient, will consider restarting Lexapro 5mg. Labs ordered: CBC, CMP, TSH, vitamin D, B12, folate."
