Job Description

There is a need for a relief/contract psychiatrist at the state correctional facility at Avenal. Funk and Associates is seeking a psychiatrist for 4x10 7A-5P or Mon-Friday 7A-3P. Up to two weeks of orientation may be required, and up to 40 of those can be paid at half the clinical rate. This is a forensic facility, and the patients are forensic patients. This is a state facility in Avenal, CA the name of which cannot be advertised for contractors. A criminal background check, drug test, and CALPERS affidavit will be part of the hiring process. 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. Additionally for the top rate, the candidate will be paid when FAA is paid, typically 60 days after invoicing. Faster payment is subject to approval and will affect the rate. Advances are negotiable for new hires. At six months the rate will be reviewed for a possible increase.
