- The medical office manager is tasked to ensure that the facilities meet the current and future provider, staff and patient needs.
Requirements
- While a BS in Business Management or MBA is desired and valued, it is not required. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience starting, managing and growing businesses. Experience in supervising non-salaried employees is desired. A proven ability to identify problems and opportunities, and to independently develop and implement solutions is necessary.
Compensation
