Connecticut: what a medical director of a psychiatry & behavioral health clinic must do

Whether Connecticut requires a physician medical director for a psychiatry & behavioral health clinic, the qualifications you need, and the duties the rule assigns.

Medical directorMedical director required
Title in the ruleMedical or Dental Director
Research date2026-09-03

Qualifications

Annually designated by the clinic's governing board as part of the medical/dental staff appointment process.

Duties the rule assigns

  • Bear the staff-privilege-control and governance responsibilities the clinic's bylaws assign to 'the medical or dental director'

Notes

Same outpatient-clinic licensing basis as the urgentCare entry above. A psychiatric/behavioral-health clinic organized as a corporation (a common structure for group behavioral-health practices) falls under this general clinic-licensing rule rather than a psychiatry-specific one — no separate psychiatric-clinic-specific medical director rule was independently located this pass.
