Overview
A Single-Source Partner for Psychiatric Providers
Whether you're building a new behavioral health program, replacing a departing psychiatrist, or adding coverage across several departments at once, finding and keeping qualified psychiatric providers is one of the hardest workforce challenges in healthcare.
IPC is a single-source staffing partner for psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and clinical therapists. We handle recruiting, credentialing, licensing, and onboarding, and we stay engaged well past the placement date, working with both the provider and your leadership to make sure the placement lasts.

The Challenge
Why Psychiatric Placements So Often Fall Apart
The national shortage of psychiatric providers means most organizations are competing for the same small pool of candidates, and a placement that isn't well matched or well supported often turns over within a year.
-
A small candidate pool.
Organizations compete for the same limited number of qualified psychiatric providers.
-
Early turnover.
Poorly matched or unsupported placements often turn over within a year, restarting the search from scratch.
-
Disengaged firms.
Many staffing firms step away once a contract is signed, leaving you to manage onboarding, retention, and problems alone.
