- Conduct chart audits and quality reviews; coach providers on documentation and clinical decision-making
- Partner with Regional Leads and recruiting to identify skill gaps and shorten time-to-independent-practice
- Maintain a reduced personal caseload (roughly 20%) to stay clinically current and credible
- Serve as clinical escalation point for complex cases during provider ramp-up
