Psychiatrist

What exactly are you seeking in a mentor? If you have a good idea, then you can start with online events. Many of them have break-out sessions where you can chat with others. Often, they provide attendees with other attendees contact information (for...

I am going to address it on my end with the site coordinator. I am also going to change my approach to how I accept students. I am considering having them apply to precept with me. I will let them and their school(s) know that my expectations may exc...

How long will your family situation take to resolve? Can you address this while you are on active duty and then apply to USUHS at another time? I am asking because you have a pretty good deal financially and career wise if you can pursue USUHS: ...

Interesting. I would argue that most, if not all providers would prefer a business entity for tax purposes and liability protection if not an employee. There are companies that can do credentialing for you. There are great BH EMR programs ...

Hello. I am a psychiatrist and new to this site. I initially joined to obtain some insight about my precepting experience. Since joining, I have perused this site and responded to some posts. I am willing to answer any general questions (No patient c...

An "agreement" is a contract; you will have more protection if it is in writing. As great as your personal relationship with her is, from what you posted, it appears that she has already separated her personal relationship with you from her obvious b...

For a long time, there were more residency slots than residents (It is now just about at equilibrium with a projected surplus of residents in the mid 2020's). There were some residency disciplines that were highly competitive and would fill, but most...

My post was only to provide insight and clarification with informed decision-making about pursing medical school, not to encourage someone to go in either direction. I am sorry to hear about your friends, but their situations do occur (I had peers in...

I approached my role preceptor based on the guidance I was given. I chose not to mention the program. I started reading through this site while I have time because of my limited knowledge about the differences in NP education so I know what I am gett...

My assumption is that you are referring to me. I have precepted/trained mental health providers for years. I posted to this site in search of guidance for my experience with my current NP students (please refer to my posts). However, if you are seek...

All state provider boards (regardless of discipline) have some sort of impaired provider program. Assuming you meet the board requirements of the program for an unencumbered license, you should be able to proceed on your chosen path. There are some p...

Yes, this is usually the case for state medical boards. When applying for credentialing and/or malpractice insurance, all providers are typically asked if they have ever been named in a malpractice suit. Then you will have answer "yes" and expla...

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately, it is a bit more complicated than that and my apologies for not including more background information. These students are also employees and I (and everyone else) know they would like to work there upon ...

So far there a lots of telepsych jobs (and psych jobs in general). Just be aware of the licensure requirements if you have patients across state lines. In terms of working with psych patients in person, medium+ sized organizations will provide t...

I cannot comment on the future of NP or PA's. I can comment on current general trends, without extrapolating to future directions of either discipline. NP's can practice independently in most states; other states require some sort of collaborati...

I am new to this site. I am a Psychiatrist. I precept PMNHP students. My experience with the students from the local university is a complete 180 from the recent students I have had to date (I would prefer not to name the school). I will continue wit...

This is to give you an idea of medical education should you choose to take this route. I also included my residency training as an example (I am a psychiatrist). Prereqs: General Biology I and II (including labs). General Chemistry I and II (inc...

Many private practice agreements have a similar arrangement to what your noted your proposed business associate is offering. If you do not have a solid legal background in setting up a professional practice, I strongly suggest that you consult with a...

I am new. I noticed that there are a lot of misconceptions posted about what is taught in medical school, acquiring additional knowledge, etc. From reading through the posts, I can only offer that you are going to be older regardless, and have to ask...
