  • Provide patient and family education effectively and sensitively to encourage compliance with medical and behavioral treatment plans.
  • Effectively utilize electronic health records and verbal communication to concisely communicate relevant information to medical providers in a timely manner.
  • Ability to concurrently document during patient sessions, including performance of various clinical, compliance, and administrative duties required to meet various billing and medical documentation requirements.
  • Effectively assess for and manage suicidal and homicidal risk, as well as concerns for child or elder abuse and neglect, using effective and evidence-based methods (PHQ-9, Columbia Risk Assessment).

Basic Qualifications:

  • Experience: External Candidates must have a minimum two (2) years of post-graduate clinical experience within an integrated care delivery system primarily (51% or more of the time spent) providing care as described above.
  • Clinical experience must be within the past five (5) year(s) OR the applicant must have completed an integrated care training/course* within that same time-period.

Additional Requirements:

  • Demonstrate the ability to work in a fast-paced Primary Care or Specialty Care setting, requiring the ability to manage multiple competing demands, constantly re-prioritize, and succinctly communicate relevant information effectively to both patients and medical team members.
  • Demonstrate the ability to work effectively in an inter-disciplinary team.
  • Demonstrate current knowledge of cultural competency, particularly related to how variables related to socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, and culture impact physical and emotional health.
