Clinical Evaluator

The Clinical Evaluator is the first voice and face of InStride Health for patients and families seeking care. Evaluators conduct phone screens and comprehensive clinical evaluations to determine clinical eligibility and appropriateness for InStride services. They provide education and orientation about InStride, serve as brand ambassadors, and ensure families feel engaged and motivated from their first interaction.

Clinical Evaluators are strong diagnosticians with excellent case conceptualization skills, adept at assessing patient presentation and navigating sensitive conversations. They determine when medical clearance is required prior to admission and, when families are not appropriate for InStride, redirect them to alternative resources with empathy and clarity.

Clinical Evaluators also generate thorough, timely documentation that ensures a smooth and intentional handoff to the care team, supported by AI note-writing tools. They provide feedback to the Tech Product team on workflows, systems, and patient experience, and to the Clinical Product team on biopsychosocial assessment and patient needs.
