- Consistently meet patient care productivity standards as established for the job classification. Work cooperatively with supervisors and peers to contribute to the overall productivity of the team. Utilize support personnel as appropriate and act as a clinical resource for neurological treatment strategies. Actively support and participate in patient coverage efforts across all divisions within the department as necessary.
