Contract Psychiatry: General Job in Los Angeles, California

This general psychiatry position in Los Angeles is offered as a contract arrangement, engaging you as an independent contractor rather than a direct employee. Under this type of agreement, you are typically paid on a 1099 basis according to terms covering schedule and rate, and you generally manage your own benefits, retirement contributions, and tax withholding, with malpractice terms defined by the agreement itself. This structure can offer scheduling flexibility along with compensation terms set out in the contract.

This same role is also listed under a number of other arrangements, including solo-independent, single- or multi-specialty group, hospital/clinic/MSO employment, academic, military/VA, community health center, part-time, administrative/medical director, virtual, and non-clinical case management options — this page describes the contract version specifically. The financial offering for this listing is noted as the national average tier. There is no emergency department call associated with this role.

The practice is open to candidates who are board certified or board eligible, trained through allopathic or osteopathic pathways, and either American or foreign medical graduates. Physicians currently in training through very experienced levels are considered, and candidates on US citizen, green card, H-1, J-1, O-1, or other visa statuses may apply. The position is based in a community sized between 100,000 and over 500,000 residents.
