Psychiatrist Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a psychiatrist in Missouri?
To become a psychiatrist in Missouri, you must earn a medical degree, complete a psychiatry residency, and obtain a medical license from the Missouri State Board of Registration for the Healing Arts. The board requires passing USMLE or COMLEX exams and submitting a licensure application with verified training records. Most Missouri employers also expect board certification from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology before or shortly after hire.
How much do psychiatrists make in Missouri?
Psychiatrists in Missouri earn a median of about $312,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $122,240 for the lowest 10% to over $644,800 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire psychiatrists in Missouri?
Missouri psychiatrist roles are posted by LifeStance Health, SSM Health, and State of Missouri and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Missouri's mix of large academic medical centers, community mental health centers, and integrated behavioral health networks means openings appear across both urban and rural parts of the state.
Which Missouri cities have the most psychiatrist jobs?
St. Louis, Columbia, and Kansas City are the Missouri cities with the most psychiatrist openings. St. Louis anchors the market through its major academic health systems and Veterans Affairs facilities, Kansas City draws demand from a strong network of integrated behavioral health organizations, and Springfield serves as the regional hub for outpatient and community mental health care in southwest Missouri.
Are there remote psychiatrist jobs in Missouri?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because telepsychiatry has become a well-established care model. About 67% of psychiatrist openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting continued investment in telehealth platforms statewide. Medication management follow-ups and therapy-focused outpatient roles are the most frequently offered in fully remote formats.
How can I get hired as a psychiatrist in Missouri with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is securing a position during or immediately following residency through Missouri's academic health systems. BJC HealthCare and University of Missouri Health Care both recruit new residency graduates into attending roles, while Burrell Behavioral Health and Compass Health Network offer structured onboarding for early-career psychiatrists. Completing a fellowship in child psychiatry or addiction medicine sharpens your candidacy, and holding an unrestricted Missouri medical license before interviews begin is the single credential that moves applications forward fastest.
