Staff Physician (Part-Time)

The New York City Department of Correction (DOC) is an integral part of the City's evolving criminal justice system, participating in reform initiatives and strategies aimed to move the City towards a smaller jail system without compromising public safety. The DOC is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for our employees, visitors, volunteers, and people in our custody. Importantly, safe jails enable DOC to provide people in custody with the tools and opportunities they need to successfully re-enter their communities. The DOC operates facilities and court commands across the five boroughs with more than 7,500 diverse professionals and knowledgeable experts. The DOC Applicant Investigation unit seeks to recruit a Staff Physician to perform medical evaluations of potential Correction Officer candidates. Under executive direction and with latitude to exercise independent judgment, the incumbent will examine candidates utilizing appropriate medical equipment or tests to evaluate medical qualifications of individuals; and make determinations on whether candidates are medically fit to perform the duties of the position of Correction Officer. The Staff Physician will perform a Medical Examination of the candidates, review all testing done at AIU, as well as review candidates' medical documentation from private physicians and all labs or Clearances requested to make determinations as to the candidates' fitness for duty. The candidate will also be available answer any questions from candidates, or our Nursing & Support Staff.
