Chief Medical Officer at Women's Care
3 天前Good afternoon, all! My name is Helen Kuroki. I am an OB/Gyn physician and Chief Medical Officer of a large women's health group in Florida, Arizona and Kentucky. We are currently hiring WHNP's across our organization, including both experienced and new grad practitioners. We offer a unique and innovative prolonged onboarding training program in conjunction with U of S. Florida in Tampa for newer grads. We love partnering with our colleague APRN's and want them to be able to operate at the top of their license. We also think the presence of APRN's in our practice increases access for our patients experiencing mild to moderate risk health concerns and enhances our ability to provide equitable healthcare services to anyone who comes to our door. If you are interested in discussing a role with us, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Best wishes, Helen Kuroki
