Please Note: Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often dont apply unless they meet 100% of the job criteria. While we have worked to consolidate the minimum qualifications for each role, we arent looking for someone who checks each box on a page; were looking for active learners and people who care about disrupting the current healthcare system with their unique experiences.
We do not conduct interviews by text nor will we send you a job offer unless you've interviewed with multiple people, including the Director of People & Talent, over video interviews. Job scams do exist so please be careful with your personal information.
