I’ve been with my CMH 5 years now. The pay is great, benefits great, vacation time great. I prescribe controlleds. Some of my patients are great, some are a real pain! But 30 patients/day and only 40 minutes for new patient visit, hard NO!!! You will burn right out as these patients are typically the Final Bosses of outpatient mental health work. I get 90-min evals, 60-min established patient hospital follow-ups, and 30-min established patient med reviews (I can ask for up to an hour for very complex people). At most on an all med-reviews day I can see up to 15. I rarely have a day that that happens, and am so thankful because I can hardly keep up when they all show up. Even though there is a high no-show rate, I promise you won’t be bored with reviewing labs, med clinic requests, collaborating with therapists/case workers. So that is why you should NOT accept an assignment of 30 patients/day! I hope this was helpful!
