“Value-based care represents a fundamental shift in how our healthcare delivery is best coordinated and funded to improve patient care and reduce low value care,” said Efram Peller, chief operating officer at Apricus Medical Group. “Students participating in this program will have the advantage of learning first-hand how a value-based care model works within a real clinical setting from established healthcare professionals in specialty practices.”
The objective of the externships is to provide a path for career advancement through a structured program that gives students the ability to systematically take steps from entry-level to higher-level tracks. The program encompasses a hybrid learning model of online courses and on-site work at an Apricus Health care clinic. This unique model gives students the ability to learn the full spectrum of what’s expected of medical support staff including competency in urgent care, nursing triage, surgical procedures, radiology, remote patient monitoring, chronic care management and care navigation.
