What are the responsibilities and job description for the Psychiatrist position at North American Mental Health Services?
This role is anticipated to be 4 hours a week, supporting one of our contract locations.
We are seeking a licensed psychiatrist (must hold an active CA Medical Board license) who is interested in expanding their practice by providing specialized evaluations rather than ongoing therapy or medication management. This position focuses on conducting comprehensive psychiatric assessments, including those related to conservatorships, offering you a unique opportunity to diversify your professional work.
In this role, you will perform structured one-time evaluations of individuals requiring assessment of clinical impairment, capacity, and other relevant psychiatric conditions. These assessments often inform legal proceedings, conservatorship decisions, or treatment planning. Evaluations may be conducted in person or remotely, depending on the case.
We provide full training, report templates, and ongoing support to help you master the requirements of these assessments. Our administrative staff manages scheduling, billing, and logistics so you can focus on delivering high-quality evaluations and reports.
