About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the State of Mississippi for a Forensic Psychiatrist position at MS State Hospital. The procurement seeks individual contract workers rather than staffing agency submissions, with a contract term beginning January 7, 2026, and extending through June 30, 2026. The position is anticipated to continue beyond the initial contract period, with a new contract expected to commence July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and potentially longer. The role requires the psychiatrist to provide services via telemedicine and/or in-person consultation, averaging 22 hours per week over the four-year contract period.
The position is compensated at $375 per hour, with an anticipated weekly commitment of 22 hours. The procurement explicitly restricts applications to individual practitioners and does not accept submissions from staffing agencies, locum tenens providers, or consulting firms acting as intermediaries, regardless of whether they employ Mississippi-licensed, board-certified psychiatrists. Multiple inquiries from staffing agencies and consulting companies were declined, with referrals to Dr. Duncan Stone for consideration of future agency partnerships. A typographical error in the initial contract dates was corrected during the question-and-answer period, clarifying that the contract commencement date is January 7, 2026, rather than January 7, 2025.
