Unlike many other pediatric clinics, we pay for documentation time!! There is also potential to work towards a salaried position vs hourly.
Start date can be flexible if needed.
This caseload is mixed with both adults and pediatrics. The ideal candidate would want to work towards becoming a certified hand therapist but also be willing to work with developmental pediatric patients.
