UW Medicine, Center for Behavioral Health and Learning
This $250m facility houses 75 psychiatry beds for patients on long-term civil commitment status, a 25-bed geriatric psychiatry unit, 50 medical / surgical beds to serve patients with medical / surgical and behavioral health needs, and a state-of-the-art Neuromodulation Center. The facility was designed to include teaching and team areas to support the education of a wide variety of trainees from various healthcare specialties.
We are currently hiring for inpatient psychiatrists to staff our 75-bed Long Term Civil Commitment Unit. You will be working with patients ages 18 and over, with principal diagnoses of severe mental illness (SMI). Many people come with trauma or substance use histories, and may have co-morbid personality disorders or an assault history due to their behavioral health disorders. You will also work with people ages 65 and over with a major neurocognitive disorder with or without behavioral disturbances, some of whom may also have a long standing severe mental illness. The Long Term Civil patients are referred from hospitals across Washington, with a subset referred from the state hospitals after being found not competent to stand trial due a behavioral health disorder. The patients are all involuntarily committed based on RCW 71.05 Involuntary Treatment Act (court ordered for up to 90- and 180-days detention).
We take a patient-centered and recovery model approach that is trauma-informed and culturally-sensitive. Psychiatric treatment is provided through milieu therapy, all-day group programming by various disciplines including psychology, and individual therapy. This position will treat people with severe mental illness diagnoses with evidence-based practices and work collaboratively with an interdisciplinary treatment team.
