The psychiatrist, in conjunction with the team leader, exercises overall clinical responsibility for monitoring recipient treatment and staff delivery of clinical services. The psychiatrist provides psychiatric and medical assessment and treatment; clinical supervision, education, and training of the team; and supervision of medication administration.
