This individual will be comfortable working in a new and evolving environment, identifying opportunities to improve workflows, and collaborating across disciplines to create a procedural experience that is safe, efficient, and responsive to the individual needs of children and families.

Participate in staff education, quality improvement, and evaluation of program outcomes, including safety, efficiency, patient experience, and procedural success.
Support the continued development and expansion of the PainFree Service to improve access to procedures that can safely be performed outside of the operating room.
