Child Psychiatrist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a child psychiatrist in Florida?
Becoming a child psychiatrist in Florida requires completing medical school, a general psychiatry residency, and a two-year child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship accredited by the ACGME. After training, you apply for a Florida medical license through the Florida Board of Medicine or the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine, pass the required state jurisprudence exam, and obtain DEA registration. Board certification in child and adolescent psychiatry through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology strengthens most Florida applications.
How much do child psychiatrists make in Florida?
Child psychiatrists in Florida earn a median of about $316,200 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $71,680 for the lowest 10% to over $568,460 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire child psychiatrists in Florida?
Companies currently hiring child psychiatrists in Florida include LifeStance Health, LifeStream Behavioral Center, and South County Mental Health Center, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Florida's large academic health systems and community behavioral health networks are consistently among the most active employers in the state.
Which Florida cities have the most child psychiatrist jobs?
Orlando, Lakeland, and Hollywood hold the most child psychiatrist openings in Florida. Miami leads because of its density of academic medical centers and children's hospitals, while Tampa and Orlando generate volume through large regional health systems like AdventHealth and Tampa General that operate multiple pediatric and behavioral health service lines.
Are there remote child psychiatrist jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're more limited than in many other healthcare fields since child psychiatry often requires in-person evaluation and hands-on clinical work. About 100% of child psychiatrist openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the growing but still selective use of telepsychiatry platforms for follow-up appointments, medication management, and consultations with school systems.
How can I get hired as a child psychiatrist in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying directly for fellowship-to-hire programs at Florida academic institutions such as UF Health, University of Miami Health System, or USF Health, which regularly recruit graduating fellows into attending roles. Early-career psychiatrists can also target community mental health centers and Federally Qualified Health Centers across Florida, which tend to be more open to candidates completing their first year post-fellowship. Securing your Florida medical license and DEA registration before the search ends and demonstrating Baker Act familiarity gives you a clear edge over other new applicants.
Where can I find and apply to child psychiatrist jobs in Florida?
You can find and apply to child psychiatrist jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the listings for roles that match your specialty and experience level and apply directly to the ones that fit.
