Vantaggi
- One of the best environments (evidence-based, private healthcare, multi-disciplinary, mostly motivated patients) to develop, practice, and challenge your clinical skills. - If you can make it here, most other environments will feel like a walk in the park. - Unionized (this is a very recent development so don't expect great pay and benefits right away)
Svantaggi
- Management is disorganized as leadership just turned over fewer than 6 months ago, although there has been a glaring lack of policies, protocols, and procedures for as long as I can remember - Team is nowhere nearly as strong as it was before (~70% clinical staff turned over within the last two months, for reasons at least partly related to the above) - Private healthcare, so the bottom line will always come before the interests of patient & frontline staff, but do expect senior leadership to mince words and PR-spin around this issue whenever it is challenged - Inpatient environment is very stressful, must be able to deal with constant crisis from patients; also is it a DBT centre so be prepared to work with a high share of Borderline patients
