Description of Role
Grapefruit Health is a healthcare company that is addressing the massive staffing shortage in healthcare by recruiting, training, and managing clinical students to perform remote interactions with patients using our specialized software to do so. Patients get the care they need, healthcare organizations can do much more, and students get to learn while they earn. It is a win-win-win!
We are currently seeking additional clinical students to come work with us. This can be any clinical student type including, but not limited to nursing, pharmacy, social work, medical assistant, certified nursing assistants, and more. You’ll have the ability to utilize the clinical skill sets and communication processes you’ve learned in your clinical program by conducting telephonic interactions with patients. Each student will commit to a minimum of 40 telephonic patient encounters per week.
Required with Submission
- Two-minute or less video explaining why you would be a good fit for Grapefruit Health and why you think learning how to perform care telephonically is important to prepare you to become a clinician. These do not need to be very formal and are mostly for us to evaluate your communication style. Be yourself and have fun with it!
