Provider Profile Blueprint — Psychiatric Practice

The provider profile page introduces the psychiatrist as both a person and a board-certified medical professional. This blueprint structures credentials, education, psychiatric subspecialty, and professional affiliations so AI can verify the psychiatrist’s qualifications and recommend them with authority — helping patients feel confident that the provider they find through AI is qualified to treat mental health conditions.

What this page needs

Patients searching for a psychiatrist want to know the provider’s credentials, training, and areas of focus. AI needs structured data to confirm these details and distinguish a board-certified psychiatrist from other mental health professionals. Without explicit credential declarations, AI cannot confidently recommend your provider over alternatives.

Why these fields matter to AI

Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

Researched and tested by Minnesota AI

MedicalClinic

name
Non-negotiable. AI cannot cite or recommend an unnamed healthcare provider.
url
AI needs a stable URL to attribute recommendations and route patients correctly.
medicalSpecialty
AI uses specialty to match the practice to condition-specific queries. Without it AI cannot recommend for specialty searches.

EducationalOrganization

name
Connects the practice to the organizational graph.

Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · Provider Profile
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Psychiatric Provider Profile page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Domain
2. Faq answer
3. Faq question
4. First name
5. Headshot
6. Last name
7. Linkedin
8. Medical degree
9. Medical school
10. Npi
11. Practice name
12. Profile
13. Provider page description
14. Provider page title
15. Psychiatrist full name
16. Psychiatry residency program

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Psychiatric Provider Profile"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Frequently asked questions

Why is board certification in psychiatry so important for AI discoverability?

Board certification is the strongest credential signal AI uses to rank and recommend healthcare providers. When a patient asks AI for a “board-certified psychiatrist,” only providers with an explicit hasCredential node declaring “Board Certified in Psychiatry” will be matched. Without it, AI cannot verify the distinction between a general physician and a specialist psychiatrist.

How does AI distinguish a psychiatrist from a psychologist in structured data?

The key differences are the @type and credential fields. A psychiatrist uses Physician type with an MD or DO degree and board certification in psychiatry. A psychologist would typically use a Person node with a PhD or PsyD credential. AI uses these structured signals to route patients to the right type of mental health provider — especially for queries that involve medication, which only psychiatrists can prescribe.

Should I include psychiatric subspecialties like addiction psychiatry or child and adolescent psychiatry?

Yes. If the psychiatrist holds additional board certifications in subspecialties like addiction psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatry, forensic psychiatry, or geriatric psychiatry, add each as a separate EducationalOccupationalCredential inside hasCredential. These subspecialties help AI match the provider to highly specific patient queries and set them apart from general psychiatrists.
