Job Description

Over the past 30+ years, Rhode Island Primary Care Physician's Corporation (RIPCPC) has grown to become the largest independent provider association of primary and pediatric care in the state, delivering exceptional care to over 200,000 Rhode Islanders. RIPCPC delivers support services that are essential to providing high quality, cost-effective medicine to patients, while also preserving community-based practices. In 2023, RIPCPC joined Akido Labs, becoming a key east coast hub for healthcare innovation within the Akido Care medical network.

 

Akido Care's fast-growing medical network is known for its ability to integrate innovative technology into the healthcare infrastructure, relieving the frustrations felt by everyone involved in care delivery, from medical providers and their staff, to the patients and their families.

 

We're building a dynamic, diverse and driven team as we continue to grow and broaden our impact. We are seeking passionate people who care deeply about helping patients and communities. We hope you'll join our team!

The Opportunity

This is a critical role as RI Primary Care Medical Group continues to grow through acquisition. Each newly acquired practice comes with its own workflows, staff habits, and legacy system experience. As we expand across multiple locations, clinical staff need a consistent, reliable training and support experience. This role would own the development and maintenance of training materials, ensure consistency across sites, and serve as an accessible frontline resource for staff. This specialist would also support the integration and adoption of additional tools as we continue to expand our technology footprint. A visible, dedicated training and support presence signals to newly acquired staff that we take their experience seriously — directly supporting engagement and retention during periods of significant change.
