Enjoys complex cases and nuanced clinical and forensic decision-making
Thinks critically and communicates clearly, both verbally and in writing
Is comfortable taking leadership responsibility while remaining collaborative and approachable
Values mentorship, consultation, and ongoing professional growth
Can balance clinical excellence with administrative accountability

SUPPORT AND PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
