What changes a MD / DO offer in New Hampshire
- Psychiatrist practice in New Hampshire is regulated by the state nursing or medical board that issues the credential, not by the counseling boards. We do not publish NH-specific requirements for this credential, so confirm them with that board before you accept a start date.
- Setting: Inpatient psychiatry, Outpatient clinics, Telepsychiatry price differently for the same credential.
- Caseload cap and billable or productivity target, which decide whether a bonus is real.
- Metro cost of living within the state; a city premium is not the same as a better offer.
- Scarcity: Severe shortage in child and adolescent psychiatry and in rural and community settings.

- Psychiatrist practice in New Hampshire is regulated by the state nursing or medical board that issues the credential, not by the counseling boards. We do not publish NH-specific requirements for this credential, so confirm them with that board before you accept a start date.

- What is the average MD / DO salary in New Hampshire?
- Federal wage data for New Hampshire puts the median for psychiatrists at $246,140 a year, with the middle of the market between $69,970 and $294,770 and about 90 people employed in the state (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025). Advertised pay on the MD / DO roles we recruit nationally sits at roughly $250k – $360k, and offers land inside that band according to setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
- Does MD / DO pay in New Hampshire differ from the rest of the US?
- We publish advertised pay on the roles we recruit, not a New Hampshire average. Across the US those MD / DO roles are advertised at roughly $250k – $360k, and where a New Hampshire offer lands inside that band is driven by setting, caseload and metro cost of living. For an official comparison, New Hampshire median pay for psychiatrists is $246,140; treat that as a negotiating floor.
- Where are the MD / DO jobs in New Hampshire?
- Candidates routinely compare offers against Massachusetts, so total package and commute matter more than local benchmarks. The live MD / DO vacancies we hold in New Hampshire are listed on this page; when nothing is open there today, the national MD / DO board carries every role we currently hold.
- Who employs MD / DOs in New Hampshire?
- The employers hiring this credential are inpatient psychiatry, outpatient clinics, telepsychiatry, residential treatment, academic centers. Which of those dominates in New Hampshire follows the local funding and provider mix rather than any national pattern, and it is the single biggest driver of what an offer looks like: the same MD / DO is priced differently by a center-based provider, a school district and a hospital system.
- What do employers look for when hiring a MD / DO in New Hampshire?
- First, the credential and the right to practise: state medical licensure and abpn board certification. Psychiatrist practice in New Hampshire is regulated by the state nursing or medical board that issues the credential, not by the counseling boards. We do not publish NH-specific requirements for this credential, so confirm them with that board before you accept a start date. After that, hiring managers screen on the specifics of the work — caseload size you have carried, the settings you have worked in, supervision responsibility, and documentation or payer experience. Availability matters too: a realistic start date that accounts for board processing usually beats a stronger resume that cannot start.
- What does the salary range on this page actually mean?
- Two different things, kept separate on purpose. $250k – $360k is what MD / DO roles we recruit are advertised at across the US — a live market signal, not a survey. The federal figures are official New Hampshire estimates for psychiatrists: $246,140 median, with $69,970 at the 10th percentile and $294,770 at the 90th. They cover the whole occupation in the state, are published annually and lag the market by roughly a year, so read the median as a negotiating floor rather than a target. Neither number is an offer; where you land inside a range is set by setting, caseload and metro cost of living.
