Are you looking to build a career with an organization that invests in your development? Are you ready to leverage your academic knowledge in a role that has a direct impact to value-based care? Can you see yourself partnering side by side with providers to improve the quality, value, and experience of care for patients? If so, the Provider Engagement Development Program (PEDP) could be a perfect fit.

In this program, our associate representatives experience full-time development including, self-study, group, and in-the-field learning from senior leadership and industry experts. As an associate, you will not only have the guidance of a mentor, but also the support of a seasoned Provider Engagement Representative partner.

The best part is at the end of the first year, successful program graduates are aligned to a Provider Engagement role within one of our CareAllies markets. Once aligned, they will continue to have support from their mentor, as well as transition into an alumni role within the program as we start to recruit, hire, and onboard the following year's cohort.
Recruiting dates:
Recruiting for the PEDP runs from August through October.
Who we hire:
Candidates with a B.A. or B.S. degree in Healthcare Administration, Business, Finance, Operations, Public Health, or Professional Sales
Locations:
Alabama (Birmingham) 
Tennessee (Nashville)
Texas (Houston, Harlingen)

If you do not see a position available within your area, we do offer a relocation package and guidance from local market representatives. Please note, we rotate locations based on each program cohort. They may not all be an option for the time of year you are applying.
Program timeframe:
24 months

Within these 2 years, you may be required to spend your first year in one market, and then relocate to another market for your placement role.

Examples of projects while in the program:
