In this vital role, you will serve as primary health care worker in the community, providing acute clinical care to patients in their homes or at HITH clinics. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to monitor health statuses, respond to episodic health needs, and promote health maintenance, rehabilitation, and disease prevention.

This includes providing education on their conditions, medications, and self-care strategies, enabling them to actively participate in managing their health and improving their overall wellbeing.

Flexibility and adaptability are key,



as you will need to assess and respond to a variety of clinical situations in diverse home settings.
