Psychiatrist 335/h CA contract in Corrections

There is a need for two contract psychiatrists at the Wasco state correctional facility. The hours sought part time variable with some weekends, or 4x12 full time. These are in-person positions and orientation to the facility will be required before clinical duties can proceed.

This is a forensic facility, and the patients are forensic patients. A criminal background check, drug test, and CALPERS affidavit will be part of the hiring process. Doctors currently working at Wasco are not eligible.

An active CA medical license, ABPN certificate, active DEA, active NPI, BLS certification, and medical malpractice insurance is required. The applicant must be authorized to work in the USA. We can assist with these on a case-by-case basis subject to rate adjustment.

Funk and Associates is owned by a relief psychiatrist and our goal is to deliver as much of the company's rate to the doctor as possible. As a result, malpractice insurance, licensing, transport, and lodging expenses are borne by the candidate, unless alternate arrangements are made. Our rates are listed as "up to" because calling out or inability to complete shifts is subject to a penalty from the client. These relief positions exist to backfill providers who are out sick or on vacation, so a committed provider is needed. Additionally for the top rate, the candidate will be paid when FAA is paid, typically 80 days after invoicing. Faster payment is subject to approval and will affect the rate. Advances are negotiable for new hires. Up to one week of orientation can be paid at half the patient care rate.
