They work closely with primary health care providers and multidisciplinary teams to optimize patient care for CAF members. Telepsychiatry is also an available option to assist in the care of members located in remote areas of Canada or on international operations.

CAF psychiatrists can also be involved in research, policy development and implementation, mentorship and education of other health care professionals and military members.

The primary responsibilities of CAF psychiatrists are to:

  • Provide clinical care for CAF members in Canada. These activities include:
    • diagnostic assessments and follow-up care with an emphasis on medicationmanagement
    • collaboration with the clinicians of the multidisciplinary mental health team
    • supporting primary care clinicians in determinations of the military members’ operational readiness, as well as identifying occupational-related restrictions and limitations related to mental disorders
  • Provide subject matter expert (SME) recommendations and advice to the local and regional Canadian Forces Health Services Clinic medical leadership as well as to the local military leadership; and
  • Contribute to the development and application of mental health-related policies within the CAF.
Work environment

CAF psychiatrists work in mental health services clinics which are typically co-located with Canadian Forces Health Services Clinics on army, air force and naval bases across Canada, providing out-patient type of care for military members. CAF psychiatrists work closely with the referring primary care clinician and ensure a supportive, multidisciplinary, team approach to patient care.In addition to psychiatrists, these teams include mental health nurses, psychologists, addiction counsellors, social workers and administrative support. Telepsychiatry is used as a modality to reach members remotely located in Canada or deployed on international operations.

Career Overview

Transcript

TITLE:
Psychiatrist (Medical Specialist)

I’m Major Yasir Khan, I’m a psychiatrist here in Ottawa, at the Montfort Clinic, Canadian Forces Health Services Centre.

I had a successful, satisfying civilian career prior to this, for several years. However, I wanted to also expand my experiences and the ability and opportunity to apply the clinical knowledge and skills in a different kind of setting – one that was both intellectually and physically interesting and challenging.

There’s a variety of conditions that we encounter which are comparable to the civilian setting, but because we serve a unique population, there are also some unique aspects, which I find very interesting from a clinical perspective and academic perspective.

There are various tasks that we engage in, both within the context of occupational medicine, but also opportunities in developing policy and giving input and education around mental health.

There’s also the military aspect, the military training and being an officer – myself, the element is the Army – and so, that is also exciting and interesting and challenging, and I’ve enjoyed all aspects.

I am still relatively new in the military; however, my experiences thus far have been enriching, challenging – it’s certainly informed my own development and growth as a clinician and as a professional within the military, including the roles and responsibilities of being an officer and a leader.
