In this role, you'll be tasked with conducting criminal forensic evaluations under the guidance of a hospital forensic director.

    Key responsibilities include conducting face-to-face forensic mental health assessments to determine trial competency and criminal responsibility, preparing reports, delivering expert testimony, and other relevant tasks.

    • Experience in providing expert testimony in forensic mental health

    Employment Requirements:
    To ensure the safety and well-being of our staff and the communities we serve, specific roles within DBHDD may necessitate evaluations, vaccinations, and professional licensure. Licenses must be valid and permit practice within Georgia. Various evaluations and vaccinations might be mandatory for all employees, regardless of direct care involvement, including drug screening, TB assessments, and annual influenza vaccinations (with limited exemptions for medical reasons or religious beliefs).

    DBHDD is an Equal Opportunity Employer
