Clinical Call Center Jobs Enjoy Teamwork, Gratification

If you’re an RN looking for an alternative to bedside nursing and need standard hours Monday-Friday, check out the UAB Medicine Clinical Call Center to challenge your nursing skills in a new way.

And although you are not at the bedside providing hands on patient care, you still have meaningful interactions with patients.
