  • Gather member feedback and identify opportunities to strengthen member engagement and service delivery.
  • Support implementation of PSO strategic initiatives and organizational priorities.

Project Coordination & Operations

  • Manage assigned projects, deliverables, and member support activities.
  • Coordinate timelines, meetings, communications, and follow-up activities to support successful program delivery.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure efficient execution of member-facing services and educational offerings.
  • Support operational processes, documentation, and activities necessary to maintain PSO compliance and effectiveness.

Professional Engagement

  • Participate in conferences, webinars, and professional development activities as appropriate.
  • Maintain current knowledge of patient safety science, quality improvement methodologies, regulatory requirements, and industry trends.
  • Contribute to educational presentations, publications, and member communications as requested.
