Company Description:
Why Work at AbsoluteCare?
At AbsoluteCare, we serve the most vulnerable individuals in America. These are our neighbors, people who are at higher risk for disease or who have multiple, complex, chronic illnesses. Often, they deal with an unequal healthcare system and wind up seeking basic care from emergency rooms. We take these patients out of those spaces and turn them into members: people who are entitled to some of the best, most focused care this country has to offer.
We call this “care beyond medicine.” We have turned the doctor’s office into a comprehensive care center. Here, we surround our members with a core care team of doctors, nurses, social workers, and medical assistants who have the time and skills to get to know our members’ needs. We make the most important services available to our members under one roof. This includes a pharmacy, X-rays, a blood lab, nutrition services, urgent care, and much more.
We don’t stop at our four walls. We engage members in the communities where we all live to find the people who need us most. Through these community care teams, we remove the barriers to healthcare that so many people face daily. And it works.
Our unique care is guided by our core values of accountability, caring, trust, and teamwork. We call it ACT2.

How do you become a psychiatrist in Ohio?
To practice as a psychiatrist in Ohio, you must earn an MD or DO degree, complete a four-year psychiatry residency accredited by the ACGME, and obtain a medical license through the State Medical Board of Ohio. The board requires passing USMLE or COMLEX examinations and a background check. Most Ohio employers also expect board certification through the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, which requires passing written and oral examinations after residency.
How much do psychiatrists make in Ohio?

Which companies hire psychiatrists in Ohio?
Employers hiring psychiatrists in Ohio right now include State of Ohio, MRG EXAMS, and Eventus WholeHealth, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Ohio's large integrated health systems, community mental health centers, and state-operated psychiatric hospitals are among the most consistent sources of psychiatrist openings in the state.
Which Ohio cities have the most psychiatrist jobs?
The Ohio cities with the most psychiatrist openings are Columbus, Cleveland, and Akron. Columbus leads as the state capital with a dense concentration of major health systems and a large public-sector employer base, while Cleveland and Cincinnati draw volume from their nationally recognized academic medical centers, which operate extensive inpatient and outpatient psychiatry programs.
Are there remote psychiatrist jobs in Ohio?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields, because telepsychiatry has become a widely accepted model for outpatient and consultative care. About 52% of psychiatrist openings tied to Ohio are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the growth of telehealth platforms and health systems expanding virtual behavioral health services. Medication management, therapy follow-ups, and crisis consultations are the areas most commonly offered in a remote format.

Large employers like OhioHealth, MetroHealth, and the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services regularly recruit new graduates into supervised or structured first-year positions. Candidates who have completed a fellowship in a high-demand subspecialty such as child psychiatry or addiction psychiatry gain a meaningful edge. Active Ohio licensure and board eligibility are the credentials that move an application forward.
