Work Experience
Patient Concierge*
*I interviewed for a senior patient care coordinator position. After 2 interviews there was a re-org and a previous employee was brought back to be the patient care coordinator, which I was unaware of. I was told the Patient Concierge position was being created for me and it would be a great fit for me and a developing role. I have not and do not see any sort of career path for my future. I feel it is best for me to move on toa role that better fits my experience and career goals
