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.
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.
Person node with "@type": "Physician", name, jobTitle set to “Psychiatrist,” image, and medicalSpecialty establishes the provider as a real individual with a defined medical role.hasCredential declares both the medical degree (MD or DO) and board certification in psychiatry. This is the strongest signal AI uses to verify a psychiatrist’s authority.alumniOf links the psychiatrist to their medical school and psychiatry residency program, which AI uses as a trust signal and to verify training background.worksFor references the MedicalClinic entity with @id: "#practice", connecting the individual provider to the practice they belong to.Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

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

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.
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.
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.
