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 days.
*Patients generally have multiple diagnoses, including some medical
problems. *You will be the primary Doctor for both psychiatric and
medical problems; however, there are 3 Nurse Practitioners, an
Internist and a Neurologist available for help with the medical
problems. *Physicals for H&Ps for new admissions are done
primarily by Nurse Practitioners. *Credentialing takes
approximately 2-4 weeks. *Six month minimum assignments preferred.
*Must be comfortable with computers, because of the electronic
medical record system. Experience why Jackson & Coker has been
recognized by Forbes and Staffing Industry Analysts for our
commitment to service excellence.Apply Here!Lindsey Parker - -
