• Address ambivalence, reinforce recovery goals, and support behavioral change
• Collaborate with patients to identify barriers to recovery and connect them with appropriate internal or external services
• Document clinical interactions and relevant findings in accordance with organizational standards
• Communicate clinically relevant insights to the care team as appropriate
• Participate in feedback loops to refine and improve the MBC pilot model

Commitment, Schedule, and Compensation

• Initial Commitment: Approximately 2 days per week

Additional Notes

This role is part of an innovative pilot program aimed at integrating measurement-based care into routine clinical practice. It is a clinical intervention role—not a screening or SBIRT-only function. The ideal candidate is excited about bridging data and clinical care, and contributing to the development of scalable, high-impact treatment models.
