The role also includes administrative responsibilities such as developing continuity-of-care standards and staying compliant with AANA guidance and local, state, and federal rules.

Compensation is listed as a $245,000 annual salary. Benefits include 280 hours of paid time off, often described as seven weeks, health insurance, a 401(k), and continuing medical education reimbursement. Benefits are available to employees working 30 or more hours per week, and this position is listed as not benefit eligible. LifeLinc covers professional liability malpractice coverage.
