They ensure necessary documentation of services is provided to the Site Medical Director or designated monitor for the provision of clinical services. Additionally, they communicate scheduling changes to the Medical Director and H.S.A. and make arrangements for coverage of medical services if unavailable for an extended period of time.

Hours are: 7a-5:30p.

Candidates should be comfortable with substance withdrawal management, partnering with psych NP’s and behavioral health staff, infectious disease management, MAT and standardized protocols (Title 15/NCCHC/ACA).
