About the clinician's workday

The reason for the need is state regulation requiring in-person psychiatric care, as the majority of their providers are telehealth; an onsite doctor is necessary to abide by state regulations. Credentialing takes 30-90 days. Typical cases include mood disorders, anxiety, psychosis, dual mental health, and substance abuse. The patient age range is all ages, though they are open to doctors who only treat patients 18 and older, as they have a very small number of child and adolescent patients. The work schedule is part-time (26-30 hours), with flexibility on how the provider wants to structure their hours. The position is outpatient, with appointments only, no walk-ins allowed, one hour for initial evaluations, and 20 minutes for medication checks and follow-ups. On-call is not required. Board certification (BC) is preferred but board eligibility (BE) is accepted. The EMR system used is Carelogic.
