Who You Are:

  • A board-certified (or board-eligible) psychiatrist (M.D. or D.O.)
  • Passionate about addiction medicine—bonus if you’re also BC/BE in Addiction Psychiatry or Addiction Medicine.
  • Licensed (or license-ready) in at least one of the following states: LA, TX, NC, FL, NM, TN, OK, MO
  • Experienced with MAT and integrated care models (minimum 2 years in addiction care and 1 year in medical leadership).
  • Energized by leading in evolving, dynamic systems—and deeply committed to equity and person-centered care.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
