What You'll Be Doing
Conduct annual in-home health assessments
Review medical history, medications, and health risks

$20,000 Sign-On Bonus or $40,000 Student Loan Repayment for eligible candidates
Employer-funded 401(k) contributions
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Generous PTO and paid holidays
CME allowance and paid CME time

Comfortable with prolonged periods of standing, sitting, bending, and kneeling while completing patient assessments.
Reliable transportation and willingness to travel locally to conduct in-home patient visits.
Strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering patient-centered care in a home-based setting.
