• Oversee smooth transitions of care, including hospital discharges and follow-ups
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record (EHR) system

Qualifications

• Board Certified or Board Eligible in Palliative Care or Hospice & Palliative Medicine
• Active Oregon medical license (or eligibility for licensure)
• Current DEA registration
