Barbara Bush Childrens Hospital - Program for Children with Medical Complexity
We are a small, but mighty, team that works to support the most fragile patient population - children living with medical complexity.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly expanding, multi-faceted, practice that is developing and changing all the time! The position will be a balanced mix of both clinical and administrative duties and will also assist with monthly Cleft Palate Clinics.
Patient visits are a mix of in-person and tele-health - so working from home from time to time is definitely an option.
We work very closely and well together, so if you are a true team player, who's willing to jump in and help where needed - we'd love for you to apply!
Please note : that the practice will be moving to a new suite in Kennebunk in October.
