Physician - Psychiatrist (Consult-Liaison) - Full-time

Hennepin County Medical Center
Minneapolis, MN, United States
Full-time

We are seeking a full-time Psychiatrist to join our Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service. Psychiatrists in the Consultation Service work in a team-based structure with Hennepin County Medical Center PGY-ll psychiatry residents and PGY-l medical interns and University of Minnesota medical students on fourth year sub-intern elective rotations.

This team is responsible for seeing psychiatric consultations from throughout the medical and surgical units of the hospital and providing integrated care for patients with complex medical and psychiatric conditions.

Hennepin County Medical Center is a 484-bed tertiary care safety net teaching hospital. The hospital provides residency training in psychiatry, medicine, surgery and a transitional year internship.

There are also rotations for students and residents from the University of Minnesota Medical School. The Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service is an integral part of the Hospital’s clinical and teaching mission.

The service has morning teaching rounds where the previous day’s consultations are presented and discussed. There is a weekly journal club where students and residents present papers they chose.

Focused lectures and discussions are provided on basic C-L topics. Attending psychiatrists supervise residents and students on their assigned consultations.

Attending psychiatrists also directly provide consultations depending on service requirements.

The C-L service works full-time daily Monday through Friday. Acute Psychiatric Services provides evening and weekend coverage for the C-L service.

There is a requirement for the attending C-L psychiatrist to provide weekend admissions coverage for the inpatient psychiatry unit on the average of (6-7) 24-hr weekend / holiday shifts per year.

Whether on call Saturday or Sunday, physicians have a scribe and are responsible for new admissions, which are capped at seven per day.

Physicians may leave after seeing patients and are responsible for responding to pages via Telmediq until 8 am the following morning.

An in-house team of medical APPs handles most issues in the unit (e.g., restraints and seclusions, medical needs, and PRN medication needs) and only contacts the physician on call when necessary.

Physicians will, at times, be called for an urgent issue at the jail when there are mental health nurses who require more backup or the very occasional clinic matter that may involve lost medication.

As such, weekend coverage is characterized as benign and insignificant. The physician on call Sunday will also cover nights from home the following week Monday through Friday.

S / he can expect very limited calls, if any, from the inpatient service or jail and do not involve clinic patients.
