• Patient Triage: Perform in-person and telephonic triage; assess symptoms and facilitate appropriate levels of care or provider intervention.

• Education & Advocacy: Provide specialized teaching to patients regarding chronic disease management, new medications, and follow-up care.
• Leadership: Charge capability is highly preferred, as you may be asked to oversee clinical flow and support staff during peak hours.

Clinical Spotlight: The Specialty Generalist

In an ambulatory specialties clinic, you are the clinical "hub." Unlike inpatient nursing where you focus on a few patients for 12 hours, you will interact with dozens of patients throughout the day, each with unique needs ranging from endocrinology and GI to pulmonology. Your ability to quickly assess a patient's status and communicate effectively with specialists makes you the backbone of the outpatient experience.

Cambridge is a world-class destination for food, history, and academia.
