An inpatient facility in Georgia is hiring a board-eligible or board-certified psychiatrist on a full-time basis. Shifts will be Monday—Friday from 8 a.m.—5 p.m. (with a one-hour lunch) and the provider will not be required to go on-call. Typical cases include Serious Mental Illnesses (SMIs), including patients with co-occurring conditions. The physician is responsible for half of the 34-bed facility and can expect to see 12-15 adult patients per day, but will not be responsible for completing daily rounds on all. Shifts will start with a team meeting, rounding, normal day-to-day activities (including competency evaluations and hearings), and then finish with notes. Support staff includes a psychologist, therapist, psychiatric nurse practitioner/physician assistant. The facility uses the Avatar electronic medical record (EMR) system. The client is looking for at least a 6-month commitment, but will also consider a 3-month commitment with the option to extend.
