Benefits of Correctional Medicine

The environment at CCA centers is a safe, secure, clean, clinic-like setting. You’ll enjoy an excellent salary, but that’s just the beginning. You’ll also enjoy regular shift work and flexible shift hours, guaranteed hours, excellent benefits, a 401(k) plan, and much more. Plus, you’ll enjoy the huge satisfaction of helping people who really need it and really appreciate it.

Greater Autonomy

Another benefit of working with CCA is that you’ll have greater autonomy as well as the opportunity to be active in the entire continuum of patient care. You’ll be part of a staff that oversees all stages of patient treatment, from care planning to clinical outcomes. And there’s more. The nature of the people you serve provides additional perks for healthcare professionals; for instance, there are no bed pans to change at our facilities. Acute care is a reality, but a rare and short-term occurrence, as serious illnesses and injuries are transferred to community health care facilities.

Be part of a Team

Because of the unique environment at CCA centers, we make sure we create a team atmosphere with all the professional and personal support that comes with that. In fact, some of our staff think it feels like a family.

A Focus on Preventative Care and Education

CCA’s healthcare teams are often the first step in helping an offender identify medical concerns such as diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic illnesses. In addition, we emphasize education that may include group meetings to discuss care and management of various illnesses and other educational health care programs. Both these approaches mean that you’ll play a key role in helping to keep people healthy.

High Standards and Accountability

CCA’s medical services units operate by the highest industry standards. Our medical departments are certified by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, the most rigorous industry standards for corrections and healthcare provider organizations.

Safe, Secure, State-of-the Art Setting

Our private jail and prison facilities are modern, clean, safe, and organized. In fact, there are few health care environments safer than ours. Correctional officers are present in every treatment situation, and all care is performed in the most secure areas.

A Dynamic Population

CCA provides health care services to male and female inmates and youthful offenders who are housed in local jails, detention facilities, and correctional institutions around the country. Depending on the type of correctional facility, the length of stay of patients that you’ll encounter ranges from a few hours to several years, which provides special opportunities to physicians who choose to work in corrections.

Training and Continuing Education

To make sure your career path is satisfying, professional development and training is a company priority. In addition to the necessary in-services and certification courses for healthcare professionals, CCA health services staff participate in annual conferences and training sessions.
