NaphCare is hiring a PRN Forensic Psychiatric Examiner (PSYCHIATRIST)* to conduct court-ordered Competency to Stand Trial (CST) evaluations of incompetent adult defendants in the Jail Based Competency Treatment (JBCT) program at the Washoe County Detention Facility in Reno, NV.
These evaluations can be conducted remotely or in-person with the full administrative support of the JBCT staff (i.e., scheduling, telehealth needs, record gathering and access to records, report submission). Scheduling is flexible, based on Examiner and Facility schedules. Compensation is a flat fee per evaluation. Evaluations occur every 6 months or before then, if a final opinion is reached sooner.
The Certified Forensic Psychiatric Examiner will provide a second opinion evaluation of CST for those individuals who have been found Incompetent to Stand Trial (IST), remanded to state restoration, and deemed appropriate to receive those services in the JBCT (on average, approximately 15 individuals).
The THRIVE JBCT program operates a 30-bed adult restoration and evaluation unit. Although the Forensic Psychiatric Examiner is not a treating member of the JBCT restoration team - serving an "evaluator only" role - the Examiner will consult with the JBCT multidisciplinary team to provide insights and updates on patients' barriers to CST that are used to inform the team's restoration treatment plan.
Testimony will also be required, as requested by the Washoe County Competency Court, and may be provided remotely or in person. Testimony is billable at a flat hourly rate for preparation and court time.
The ideal candidate has experience evaluating Competency to Stand Trial (CST), testifying, working with serious mental illness and/or in a correctional setting, and in working within a multidisciplinary team.
The Examiner will be contracted with NaphCare, Inc. and conduct these evaluations according to NV statutory requirements under the auspices of the NV-DHHS Division of Public and Behavioral Health.
