Working hours are from Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
A psychiatrist (locum tenens) is a mental health professional, who focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating mental illness. After completing medical school, a psychiatrist must also complete a one year internship and three additional years of specialized training as a psychiatric resident.

A psychiatrist evaluates patients with mental illness and, in cases where medication is subscribed, often practices medication management.
