Associate Medical Director - West Allis

Rogers Behavioral Health is a not-for-profit behavioral health system with a long history. For over 100 years we have been providing top quality psychiatric services to our patients and performing cutting edge research and are one of the leading healthcare providers in our field. RBH offers adults, as well as child and adolescent patients in our communities, the ability to receive care at multiple level of services including: inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient services. The three primary hospitals are located in Wisconsin, and numerous clinics spread from coast to coast in Wisconsin and 9 other states, including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington. In this role, the physician will serve as a team leader in our patient care model, which is based on a multi-faceted treatment team methodology. Physicians have the opportunity to work in one or more levels of care, in both a live and virtual environments, as well as support patient admissions, protocol development, quality assurance and peer review evaluations. Physicians will collaborate with nurse practitioners and physician assistants, as well as oversee residents and fellows during their educational rotations through our programs.

Attend Patients at the Site and via Telehealth:  The Physician will be expected to attend patients and assist with patient coverage at the locations assigned by Employer (the “Site(s)”). In addition, Physician may be expected to cover additional locations or “Sites”, as assigned by Employer if Site does not have enough patient availability for Physician to achieve RVU targets or daily patient visit goals or there are provider shortages at a particular location and Employer needs Physician to provide additional coverage.   The Physician will accept referrals from medical physicians, psychiatrists, in all areas and counties surrounding Site referrals, to attend their patients on the unit, and upon patient discharge the Physician will refer the patient to the referring physician for outpatient care, unless the patient expresses another preference, or the Physician determines that this is not in the best medical interests of the patient. The Physician will be responsible for providing written and verbal discharge summaries to all referring physicians.

The Physician will continue to see patients on unit seen by Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants and serve as a collaborating physician for them as needed, including completion of psychiatric evaluations.

           Notwithstanding the forgoing, Employer does not guarantee any minimum or maximum number of patients at any one time.

           The Physician may be required by Employer to participate in call coverage based on the pre-determined schedule established by the Employer, which will include an equitable division of dates across providers.

                     iv)      intensive outpatient programs (IOP).
