Team is easy going so would like someone who would fit in well with an easy going, yet “all about business” team. Everyone on the team (entire clinic) is self-sufficient and has high expectations of each other. They love to laugh and get along as well as get their work done. Someone who doesn’t get “rattled” easy would be great as managing patients can sometimes be difficult.
