Adult Outpatient Locum Tenens Job in the Downtown Los Angeles, California Area

DETAILS:
*Needs starts ASAP for up to one year. 
*Adult outpatient coverage need for 20-24 hours per week. This program is looking for part-time psychiatry coverage, two 10-hour days or three 8-hour days per week. The expectation for this position is that the psychiatrist comes on-site each workday and perform field rounds daily. After field rounds, the psychiatrist will be responsible for documentation and prescriptions. Depending on where the field rounds end, the psychiatrist may be allowed to finish their day at an alternate work location (i.e., at home). Only a small amount of tele health. 
*No call.
*The Veteran and Military Family Services (VMFS) program is currently a prevention-focused initiative and linkage program designed to support veterans and their families across Los Angeles County.  VMFS leans on successes of the peer-to-peer model of services.  Majority of our staff are veterans and military family members. The program seeks to lower risk factors such as high suicide rates, homelessness, and underemployment among veterans while increasing protective factors like social connectivity, financial stability, resilience, and socio-emotional skill development.
*VMFS will transition to fully implementing a Full-Service Partnership (FSP) Intensive Case Management Services model, which will include linkage, mental health services, housing, medication support, and 24-hour crisis support services.  The range of referrals from low risk to high-risk will be dispositioned and triaged according to level of care and need.   Individuals with mild mental health needs will be referred to community veteran service providers, moderate to high needs will be services within the FSP model.  This hybrid model will enable the program to continue with ease of access to care for veterans and military family members as many veterans with mental health will not come in for mental health services but will be more inclined to come in for housing or benefits.  VMFS will also continue with our contract with SAMHSA PATH focusing on housing services and mental health linkage for mentally ill unhoused veterans.
