• Collaborate on the development and improvement of clinical protocols and procedures

Additional Details:

• Schedule may include occasional evenings or weekends
• Opportunity to support community response during emergency or inclement weather events
  

Why This Role Stands Out:
This isn’t just a clinic job, it’s a chance to serve communities across Wake County, build meaningful patient relationships, and play a key role in public health delivery.
