- Maintaining accurate, timely, and compliant clinical documentation, including treatment plans, progress notes, discharge documentation, and medical record completion
- Participating in weekly clinical supervision, multidisciplinary case conferences, and collaborative treatment planning discussions to ensure high-quality patient care
- Supporting the education and development of future behavioral health professionals by participating in training opportunities and providing clinical oversight to interns when appropriate
- Pursuing ongoing professional development through continuing education, evidence-based training, and organizational resources while contributing to customer satisfaction and quality improvement initiatives
This role might be for you if:
