About This Role:

The Clinical Science Consultant is responsible for leading non-branded, evidence-based education for Primary Care Providers (PCPs) to improve early identification and diagnosis of cardiac arrhythmias in the outpatient setting. This role focuses on advancing disease state awareness, reducing diagnostic gaps driven by comorbidity overlap, and supporting appropriate use of ambulatory cardiac monitoring (ACM) within the standard of care.

Through strategic provider engagement and deployment of risk-based clinical tools, this role will help shift diagnosis upstream, reduce acute care utilization, and strengthen overall healthcare system integrity by enabling more efficient, cost-effective, and timely patient care.

Key Responsibilities

Clinical Education & Provider Engagement

• Develop and deliver compliant, non-promotional educational programs on cardiac arrhythmias tailored to PCP audiences.
• Translate current and emerging scientific literature into actionable insights relevant to primary care practice.
• Establish credibility as a clinical resource and thought partner to PCPs and care teams.

Disease State Awareness & Diagnostic Gap Closure

• Educate providers on the link between common comorbidities and increased arrhythmia risk.
• Address symptom overlap and the risk of diagnostic overshadowing in primary care populations.
• Communicate the downstream impact of delayed diagnosis, including increased HCRU, hospitalizations, readmissions, and cost of care.

Outpatient Diagnostic Optimization

• Promote the role of PCPs in initiating appropriate diagnostic pathways, including ACM use within guidelines.
• Highlight system barriers (e.g., cardiology access delays) and opportunities for earlier diagnosis in primary care.
• Align education to PCP performance metrics, quality measures, and population health initiatives.

Ambulatory Monitoring Education (Holter vs. LTCM)

• Educate PCPs on the clinical considerations, appropriate use cases, and limitations of short-duration monitoring (24-48 hour Holter) compared to longer-term continuous monitoring (LTCM) within current standards of care.
• Highlight the relationship between symptom frequency, arrhythmia burden, and diagnostic yield when selecting monitoring duration.
• Provide evidence-based context on how monitoring duration may impact diagnostic accuracy, time to diagnosis, and downstream care decisions.
• Educate providers on emerging evidence demonstrating that reliance on short-duration monitoring-particularly when guided by perceived frequent symptoms-may result in missed diagnostic opportunities due to the intermittent and unpredictable nature of many arrhythmias.
• Support PCP understanding of when extended monitoring may be appropriate for patients with intermittent, infrequent, or unexplained symptoms.

Clinical Tool Implementation

• Support adoption of a symptom- and risk-based questionnaire to identify high-risk patients appropriate for ACM.
• Guide integration of risk stratification tools into clinical workflows to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.

Healthcare System Integrity & Value Optimization

• Educate providers on how delayed or missed arrhythmia diagnoses contribute to system inefficiencies, including avoidable emergency department visits, inpatient admissions, and fragmented care pathways.
• Position early, outpatient diagnosis as a mechanism to reduce unnecessary utilization and preserve healthcare resources.
• Reinforce the role of PCP-driven diagnostic pathways in supporting care continuity, reducing variability, and improving system-level performance.
• Align educational messaging to value-based care principles, emphasizing cost containment, quality improvement, and optimized resource allocation.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Medical Affairs, Clinical Research, Market Access, and Commercial teams to ensure aligned, evidence-based messaging.
• Provide field insights to inform publications, ongoing research, and educational strategy.
• Contribute to development of scalable education models and best practices.

Performance Expectations & Incentive Alignment

• Performance objectives and incentives are aligned to measurable impact on PCP engagement and adoption of appropriate, guideline-consistent diagnostic pathways within assigned markets.
• Emphasis is placed on increasing PCP participation in arrhythmia identification and management in geographies with established specialty utilization, supporting a more integrated and efficient care delivery model.
• Success is measured by the ability to drive upstream diagnostic behavior change, expand disease state awareness, and improve alignment between primary and specialty care.

Education & Experience

• Minimum of 8 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 6 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with 3 years experience; or equivalent experience.
• Active Registered Nurse (RN) license, MSN, DNP, or equivalent clinical experience preferred
• 7+ years clinical experience (cardiology, electrophysiology, or primary care strongly preferred)
• 3+ years in clinical education, provider engagement, or medical affairs
• Experience educating PCPs or working within primary care settings preferred
