DuPage County Health Department Contractual Psychiatrist, Mental Health Service

One of our missions at the DuPage County Health Department, in Wheaton, Illinois, is to provide quality and accessible community mental health services to the seriously and persistently mentally ill of DuPage County.

Responsibilities include diagnostic evaluations, medication management treatment, minimal supportive psychotherapy, and staff consultation, all as part of a comprehensive multidisciplinary clinical team. The current treatment model is for one hour new evaluations and 30 minute follow-up visits for most outpatients. Clinical responsibilities are to outpatients and a small percentage of clientele who are treated in the Health Department’s residential treatment programs. No inpatient duties. The psychiatrist participates in emergency response activities as assigned; maintains confidentiality of privileged information; and demonstrates sensitivity and understanding to patients from all ethnic groups, cultures, and sexual orientations.

To qualify you must have a permanent unrestricted Illinois medical license, an Illinois controlled substance certificate, and a Federal DEA certificate. Basic computer skills including adequate keyboard skills are a requirement; we will train you in our e-prescribing and electronic medical record software. Must also have the ability to work with the general public and within a team-oriented environment, and own reliable transportation for availability at any of our various sites within DuPage County.

Professional liability insurance is provided through the Health Department’s policy. Contracted employee psychiatrists pay no self-employment tax.
