Details/Requirements:
*Adult inpatient coverage for 20-40 hours a week starting ASAP and ongoing. Some outpatient is possible too.
*Client is currently looking for locum tenens Psychiatrists who will work 20-40 hours a week and will also work weekends and holidays on a schedule set by the Client.
*Schedule TBD: They need doctors with more flexibility than just working Tues-Thurs, who can work Mondays, Fridays, weekends and holidays. They will agree upon a set schedule but after 2-3 months (possibly a lesser timeframe) they may need to change the doctor's scheduled depending on their need at the time and they want a doctor who is flexible to make periodic changes like this.

*Number of beds on each of the inpatient units fluctuates
*Average length of stay for each unit: 14 days
*Average daily census for each unit also fluctuates
*Average daily caseload for each psychiatrist: 8-10
*Medical physicals for the H&Ps for new admissions are done by primary care physicians
*Average number of new admissions per day: fluctuates but shared with other doctors too
*Average number of discharges per day: fluctuates and again, shared workload
