Psychiatrist 2

Duties

Psychiatrists are an essential part of the Article 16 Clinic behavioral team. They provide comprehensive psychiatric treatment services built on the principles of effective, measurable, and accountable care. As medical doctors, psychiatrists are responsible for ensuring that all services are integrated to promote physical health and recovery. Additionally, as psychopharmacology has become an integral component of modern mental health treatment, psychiatrists serve as primary prescribers.

As a Psychiatrist 2, you will independently diagnose, treat, prescribe, and provide psychiatric care and treatment services to assigned individuals; provide clinical supervision and guidance to other medical personnel or clinicians and may supervise and/or manage psychiatric care and treatment services for an assigned facility or program. The Psychiatrist 2 will advise residential multi-disciplinary treatment teams on implementing psychiatric plans of care.

The Psychiatrist 2 may also oversee services for a treatment program, a group or individuals, a facility or a unit.
