FAQ
-
Is Integrated Psychiatric Consultants a one-time staffing agency?
IPC is more than just a staffing agency. Yes, we support healthcare recruiting needs by placing skilled providers in our partner organizations. But when most recruitment services drop off after placement, we step up to ensure your organization sustains high-quality care for years – not months.
We also provide our mental health partners administrative oversight, licensing and credentialing services, and quality improvement. We keep the process simple for our clients by streamlining offerings through one contract, with a single point-of-contact. It saves our partners time and money to receive these bundled services from IPC.

As always, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before making adjustments to your way of life.
