Child Psychiatrist Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a child psychiatrist in Massachusetts?
To practice as a child psychiatrist in Massachusetts, you must hold an active medical license issued by the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine, which requires completing medical school, an accredited general psychiatry residency, and a two-year child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship. Most positions also require board certification or active candidacy through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. A DEA registration is required for prescribing controlled substances in the state.
Which companies hire child psychiatrists in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring child psychiatrists in Massachusetts right now include LifeStance Health, HRI Hospital, and Justice Resource Institute, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's density of academic medical systems and community mental health centers means openings are distributed across both large hospital networks and smaller outpatient and school-based programs throughout the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most child psychiatrist jobs?
Boston, Worcester, and Auburn have the most child psychiatrist openings in Massachusetts. Boston drives the largest share of demand through its concentration of academic medical centers and children's hospitals, while Worcester and Springfield reflect strong regional health systems and community mental health networks that serve Central and Western Massachusetts populations with significant unmet need.
Are there remote child psychiatrist jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than many clinical specialties, given that telepsychiatry has become a recognized standard of care for outpatient child and adolescent mental health. About 65% of child psychiatrist openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting broad adoption of telehealth platforms across the state. Medication management follow-ups and individual therapy sessions are the functions most commonly delivered remotely.
How can I get hired as a child psychiatrist in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at a Massachusetts training program, such as those affiliated with Mass General Brigham or Boston Children's Hospital, which often convert fellows into staff positions. Newly licensed physicians can also apply to community mental health centers and school-based health programs, which tend to offer structured supervision. An active Massachusetts medical license and ABPN board eligibility give candidates a clear edge over those still completing credentialing.
