Taking a position at a Healthcare startup allows for the opportunity to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system.

Here are some things you can expect:
- Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats & juggle various responsibilities
- Learning opportunities- you will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn
about new roles & areas
- Fast Paced- Startups often must move faster than traditional large companies. This means you may be asked to cope with
or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes
- Autonomy- You will need to be highly autonomous, as there is less structure and learning and development than at large
orgs. This requires you to be able to learn asynchronously, as well as raise your hand when help is needed, or gaps are
identified
