What it is

The Licensing & Credentialing Program Manager ensures our clinicians are always ready and authorized to provide care. You’ll own the processes that keep our clinicians properly licensed, credentialed, and compliant across states, including managing collaboration practice agreements (CPAs) between physicians and advanced practice providers.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on detail, compliance, and operational efficiency, someone who understands how to navigate healthcare regulations while enabling clinicians to focus on care delivery.
