MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 195047 March 2, 1995
BY: Health & Human Services Committee- Shelley Taub, Chairperson
IN RE: Human Services/CMH-Certification Requirement of Board-Eligible Applicants
for the Psychiatrist/Part-Time Classification
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the minimum qualifications for the current Psychiatrist/Part-time
classification requires the applicant to be certified or eligible for
certification in Psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology;
and
WHEREAS per Miscellaneous Resolution #94102, approved 5/12/94, all persons
hired as board-eligible must obtain board certification within twelve (12) months
of employment; and
WHEREAS it is the concern of the Director of Community Mental Health
Services that this requirement is problematic and negatively impacts the
retention of psychiatric staff; and
WHEREAS this certification is not a licensure to function as a Psychiatrist
in a community mental health setting; and
WHEREAS the main requirement for any physician to practice psychiatry is
to complete psychiatric residency training and to meet the expectation to obtain
unlimited licencure to practice medicine in a state, commonwealth or territory
of the United States or Canada; and
WHEREAS such expectation specifically relates to graduation from an
accredited medical school listed by the World Health Organization: and
WHEREAS these requirements are the prerequisites to application for
certification with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; and
WHEREAS applicants are required to take Part I and Part II examinations
which may be completed within six years and three years respectively; and
WHEREAS the time frame established for the successful completion of the
examinations required by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology is more
flexible than the one year time frame established by Miscellaneous Resolution
#94102,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
eliminates the requirement established by Miscellaneous Resolution #94102,
stating that all persons hired as board-eligible Psychiatrist/Part-time must
obtain board certification within twelve (12) months of employment, and amends
the requirement to provide that all persons newly hired as board eligible must
obtain board certification within three years and that current board eligible
employees must obtain board certification within three years of the effective
