  • Is there on-the-job training?

    We have a lot of on-the-job training for all positions! We offer weekly training from our national leadership team and other thought-leaders. Our training includes topics that are medically, nutritionally, and therapeutically relevant in the eating disorder field. We also offer training at the local level. In addition to these training opportunities, Alsana offers a robust supervision structure that includes weekly discipline-specific 1:1 training and supervision as well as weekly discipline-specific group supervision.

  • Are there growth opportunities for Alsana clinicians?

    There are many growth opportunities based on clinicians’ professional goals. Many of our clinicians begin their careers as direct care staff and grow into leadership roles. Opportunities are truly endless. Clinicians can move into discipline-specific roles (i.e., Lead therapist, lead dietitian, charge nurse) or more managerial/administrative roles (Director of Clinical Service, Program Director, etc.). Alsana is an innovative company that encourages growth, and there are plenty of opportunities for clinicians to advance their careers within the organization. There are also opportunities to work at different Alsana locations.

  • Do you need previous experience in the Eating Disorder industry to be considered for employment?

    Clinicians do not need experience in the ED industry. The most important characteristic that we look for in a potential hire is being a team player. If someone is an excellent cultural fit for Alsana, the eating disorder knowledge can be taught!

  • What kind of shifts are available?

    Clinicians typically do not work traditional “shifts.” Week schedules can vary in terms of hours. For the most part, clinicians can collaborate with their supervisor regarding the hours they work each day. Because we offer treatment between 8-12 hours per day (based on the level of care), there is a range of hours that clinicians can work. Typically, clinicians can choose to come in during the early morning or late morning and work into the evening. Since we cover a full clinical day of programming, there are options based on clinician preference.

  • Is this position on-site at a facility or remote?

    The majority of positions are on-site at a specific location, but we also offer a Virtual Program for clients, and that program utilizes a team of remote clinicians.

  • Does Alsana offer qualifying supervision hours?

    Yes, Alsana does offer qualifying supervision hours with dedicated and experienced Clinicians.

  • How does the eating disorder setting with Alsana differ from the hospital setting or Private Practice?

    Alsana takes significant steps and effort towards creating soothing, homey spaces where clients can heal and thrive. We want our clients to be comfortable in serene environments that are not overly clinical or sterile (as hospitals can be). We encourage and incorporate a lot of hands-on experiences with cooking experientials and eating exposure opportunities. Clinicians also have many opportunities to do sessions outside on the Alsana community’s grounds or go off campus (when appropriate) to have a session in a “real-life setting.” Clinicians get to choose the ways they want to incorporate creative options for clinical intervention.

  • What is the call expectation for this position?

    Psychiatrists are on call 24/7 and medical providers are available to psychiatrists for any questions or client-related issues. Due to the protocols we have in place and the training our staff receive, there are very few calls to the physicians.

  • Does Alsana have on-the-job training for Psychiatrists or Internal Medicine Physicians?

    Absolutely. Eating disorders is a very specialized niche with very few experts available. Fortunately, Alsana has thought leaders in the ED field for each dimension of the Adaptive Care Model (ACM). Specifically, physicians will be trained by Alsana’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Margherita Mascolo and Psychiatrist, Dr. Brad Zehring.

  • What is Alsana’s eating disorder treatment philosophy?

    We treat the whole person, not just the disease. Medical seeks to educate clients on the organic causes of their symptoms and minimize the amount of unnecessary medical procedures and medications. Additionally, Alsana medical focuses on restorative sleep in order for clients to be able to participate in therapy.

  • What roles make up the clinical leadership at Alsana?

    Each site has a Director of Clinical Services (DoCS) responsible for the daily operations of the site. The entire clinical team reports to the DoCS. In addition, each region has a Regional Executive Director (RED) responsible for the operations of the entire region. Physicians report to the RED and have a dotted line to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO)
