Job description

A community behavioral health clinic in Connecticut needs an adult outpatient psychiatrist to start as soon as possible. $225 an hour for a 40-hour week, Monday to Friday, 8 to 4:30, with no call, plus a lodging stipend of up to $750 a week if you are traveling in. The assignment is at least 6 weeks, and the client expects extensions until it hires a permanent psychiatrist.

Job Responsibilities

You will see 6 to 7 adult patients a day in a community mental health program for more than 300 active clients. New evaluations are scheduled for about 60 minutes and follow-ups for about 30, and the clinic keeps volume low on purpose so providers do not burn out. Your patients have serious mental illness and often co-occurring substance use disorders, and about 5 percent are forensic or court-ordered. Several APRNs and other psychiatrists work across the programs, and one psychiatrist already covers part of the week. Documentation is in the state's WITS system alongside paper charts.

Qualifications

An active Connecticut medical license in hand, with no license-pending candidates. Experience in community mental health, public behavioral health, serious mental illness, or co-occurring disorders is a strong fit, and forensic exposure is a plus. You cannot currently be a State of Connecticut employee (full-time or per diem) or a contractor at a Connecticut state facility or Connecticut Corrections. Local candidates are strongly preferred. Credentialing takes about 2 to 3 weeks, followed by an interview with the Medical Director.

Working Hours

Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm, 40 hours a week, no call. Start as soon as possible. Flights and rental cars are not anticipated, the lodging stipend is up to $750 a week, and mileage may be reimbursed for providers within driving distance.

Skills

Adult psychiatry, serious mental illness, community mental health, co-occurring disorders, medication management, forensic exposure, WITS.
