Nice To Haves

You love to innovate and learn; building on existing protocols to develop your own practice is exciting to you.

You enjoy helping patients and families navigate the healthcare system despite its complexity.
You love working on an interdisciplinary team with care navigators/coordinators, social workers, doctors, etc.
You are comfortable working from home embedded in an all-remote team.
