What You'll Do

Use clinical judgment and prescriptive authority to manage medications and interpret diagnostic results in collaboration with nephrologists and care teams. Lead coordination efforts to ensure treatment plans are followed and adjusted based on patient needs.
Deliver telehealth visits from your home office and travel as needed to dialysis centers and clinics within your assigned region. Maintain flexibility in scheduling to align with patient and provider availability, operating Monday through Friday without night, weekend, or on-call responsibilities.
