COMPANY PROFILE:
This organization opened in 2019 and is a busy, multi-site outpatient infusion clinic, specializing in using ketamine to treat depression.  Their providers have a patient-centered approach to ensure safe and comfortable experiences for all patients. They are a complement to existing mental healthcare services and view ketamine as one pillar in a larger care plan, relying on continuous dialogue with patients and referring provider partners to define how ketamine plays a role in overall wellness.  They currently boast a staff of 5 physicians and 6 infusion nurses, operating out of 5 convenient locations in New York City.

- IV placement when needed
- clinical monitoring of patients

REQUIREMENTS:
- New York medical license
- comfort with cardio-respiratory monitoring
