Job Description:
Adult Forensic Inpatient Psychiatry Locums Job - Acute
Psychiatric Program Hospital -
CaliforniaDetails/Requirements:*218-bed licensed Acute Psychiatric
Program inpatient hospital and a licensed 114-bed Intermediate
Treatment Program*Provide quality mental health evaluation and
treatment to patients/inmates who are referred from prisons
throughout the State of California. *Need is for 40 hours per week,
4 tens only. *Hours: 8am to 6pm, Monday through Friday. M, T, F are
mandatory, and the doctor can choose either W or Th.*On-call duty
only during shift. No after hours call. *Acute inpatient experience
is required. *Must be well versed in psychopharmacology and Axis 2
disorders. *Average daily caseload for the Doctor is 15 patients
for Acute and 35 for Intermediate, but may vary. *On the acute
units the average patient load is 15 assigned patients (although
there are some units where it is 16 or 17; on one unit there are
actually 20). *On the intermediate units the average patient load
is 32-25 patients, depending on the unit. *In most cases the
Psychiatrist does not see every patient every day. *The general
expectation is that patients will be seen twice a week on the acute
units and once a week on intermediate. *There are so many
variations to each unit and Psychiatrists float to other units
periodically, that it is hard to give a very strict guideline on
the number of patients seen in a 10 hour day. *On a slow day it
might be as low as 3 to 5 patients, and on a busy day it can be 15
patients or sometimes more. *There is a great team of Psychiatrists
and they help each other out on those busy days, so it is not
usually too overwhelming. *Average one new admission and one
discharge per week. *Average length of stay is 60 to 75 day
