Psychiatrist Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a psychiatrist in Colorado?
To become a psychiatrist in Colorado, you must earn a medical degree, complete an accredited psychiatry residency, pass the USMLE, and obtain a medical license through the Colorado Medical Board. Colorado participates in the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact, which can ease licensure for physicians already licensed in other compact states. Most employers also expect board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, and prescribers must hold an active DEA registration for Colorado.
How much do psychiatrists make in Colorado?
Psychiatrists in Colorado earn a median of about $266,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $134,050 for the lowest 10% to over $353,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire psychiatrists in Colorado?
Employers hiring psychiatrists in Colorado right now include Aurora Mental Health & Recovery, LifeStance Health, and Serenity Healthcare, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Colorado's strong community mental health center network and large integrated health systems like UCHealth and Centura Health create consistent openings across both urban and rural settings.
Which Colorado cities have the most psychiatrist jobs?
Aurora, Denver, and Grand Junction have the most psychiatrist openings in Colorado. The Denver metro drives the largest share given its concentration of hospital systems, Veterans Affairs facilities, and community mental health centers, while Colorado Springs and Aurora generate steady demand through military-affiliated care, regional hospital campuses, and state-contracted behavioral health programs.
Are there remote psychiatrist jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields. About 63% of psychiatrist openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the strong adoption of telepsychiatry across the state. Medication management, follow-up consultations, and outpatient therapy supervision are the functions most commonly performed remotely, while inpatient and emergency psychiatric roles remain on-site.
How can I get hired as a psychiatrist in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a position during or immediately after residency through Colorado's community mental health centers, which routinely hire early-career psychiatrists and often offer loan repayment through Health Professional Shortage Area designations. UCHealth and the Colorado Department of Human Services also run structured onboarding programs for new attendings. Candidates who obtain their Colorado medical license and DEA registration before finishing residency, and who have experience with Epic from training rotations, move to the front of the queue.
Where can I find and apply to psychiatrist jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to psychiatrist jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the state. Search the listings to find roles that match your specialty, experience level, and preferred setting, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
