Crisis Clinician

The Crisis Clinician I (CCI) is responsible for completing a biopsychosocial assessment, to provide a diagnostic impression to the psychiatrist on call or physician. The CCI will require a working knowledge of diagnostic criteria, as provided through their master level education, within behavioral healthcare for all age groups, pediatric to geriatric. In some instances, assessments may require a licensed clinician's approval. The CCI will be the main source for coordination of care with referral sources, Emergency Department, admitting unit, and the patient's families. The CCI will be expected to understand all levels of behavioral healthcare that Franciscan offers, as well as have a wealth of knowledge of referral sources within the surrounding area. The CCI must be able to adapt quickly, work independently, be detail oriented, and well organized to be successful.
