Do you enjoy being busy, yet also like to find those important moments to genuinely connect with your patients with compassion and empathy? 

Do you accept that at times, communication under pressure in the clinical environment can be less personable and transactional but you’ve learned not to take this personally?

Do you respect a team that can set aside their differences and focus on patient care and the patient experience?

Do you appreciate a Physician-led team that is actively engaged in the clinical environment and supports a muti-disciplinary approach to medicine and shares the workload when needed?

Do you support continuous quality improvement through respectful and professional feedback and coaching? 

Do you prefer things to be as predictable as possible, yet are also quick to recognize when you the need to adapt and pivot to address unexpected changes? 

Do you enjoy work-balance & self-care and encourage others to take the time for this as well.
