Pros

-work from home -flexible location and schedule -good co-workers -very good health insurance - can choose patient populations you want to work with

Cons

No administrative time, difficult to acheive advertisized salary without working more than full time and if you don't want to do mostly ADHD evaluations. Shortage of stimulants created hours of extra work for prescribers and limited support was offered to help with this. Seemed to be ultimately priortizing profits over other values

Ultimately our goal is to allow you to optimize how you spend your time, which should be focused on offering high quality care to your patients.

Pros

The work is straightforward. The clients are mostly reasonable. I prescribe a lot of stimulants in states where I can prescribe them. The electronic medical record and the resources contained within make it easy enough to do it. A good job at this. They offer the use of an AI scribe to help with documentation. You can be involved as much or as little as you want to in activities beyond direct patient care. Talkiatry chooses to make its money through the use of the psychotherapy add-on code. You're incentivized to spend time talking with your patients, which seems like a win for everyone.

Cons

Figuring out how the performance portion of the pay structure works is challenging and takes several months. You also take a significant hit in taxes because of the the back that the performance portion of your salary is paid as a bonus which is taxed at 30%. This is higher than the base pay tax rate. I'm hopeful that I'll see the significant tax return next April.
