About The Position

ZOLL Medical Corporation’s Cardiac Management Solutions division is seeking Patient Service Representatives (PSRs) as independent contractors to train patients on the use and care of the LifeVest® wearable cardioverter defibrillator. The LifeVest is worn by patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest and provides protection while their medical condition changes. This role is an opportunity for health professionals with patient care and teaching experience to supplement their income. A typical patient is in the hospital awaiting discharge. The PSR sets up the equipment, trains the patient and caregivers, and follows up as needed to support understanding and satisfaction. PSRs can accept or decline assignments according to their schedules; most assignments can be arranged around other work or days off. Assignments may take place in patients’ homes or healthcare facilities and may occur during daytime, evening, or weekend hours. Compensation is described as competitive fee for service.
