Clinic Nurse
The Norman E Alessi MD Clinic is looking for compassionate nurses who want to be on the cutting edge of modern psychiatry. Job duties will primarily include the administration of sub-anesthetic, low-dose ketamine infusions in the treatment of depression and other conditions refractory to traditional therapies. We are a growing mental health practice lead by Dr. Norman Alessi, professor emeritus and former departmental Director of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Michigan School of Medicine. With 40 years of experience, Dr. Alessi has been ranked as one of America's top doctors for 20 years running and recognized as #1 in Michigan for child and adolescent psychiatric services.
We are beginning to include cutting edge therapeutic modalities including ketamine assisted therapy, executive function coaching, and social skill-building. We take a creative, high-touch, outcome driven approach to achieve consistently superior results for our patients. The Norman Alessi E. MD Clinic has developed the first infusion-based ketamine assisted psychotherapy.
This is a fundamental advancement in the field: to date ketamine infusion therapy is almost exclusively administered without mental health support services. This is an exciting opportunity for clinicians looking to fundamentally advance one of the most promising new therapeutic regimes, having achieved "breakthrough" status from the FDA.
