• Document findings, recommendations, and follow-up plans in the medical record.
• Support outpatient coverage needs across Vanderbilt's network of clinics as assigned, with primary assignment on the main campus.

Learning Health System & Continuous Improvement

• Use clinical and operational data to identify opportunities to improve access, diagnostic accuracy, and time-to-intervention.
• Participate in piloting and implementing new workflows, tools, and procedures that improve patient and family outcomes.
• Share lessons learned with colleagues and trainees to strengthen system-wide practice.
