Psychiatrist

Your psychiatry expertise can take you beyond the traditional practice setting. Travel internationally to conduct specialized mental health evaluations for Veterans and service members, bringing your clinical experience to communities around the world.

At International SOS Government Medical Services, you'll support healthcare programs that improve patient care and operational readiness across the U.S. and internationally. Founded in 1984, International SOS operates in more than 90 countries, delivering healthcare, medical assistance, emergency response, and workforce support services worldwide.

As a Psychiatrist supporting international disability examinations, you'll evaluate mental health conditions potentially connected to military service through clinical interviews, psychiatric assessments, and diagnostic reporting.
