Physical Effort:Incumbent must have the ability to type on a computer, to communicate via telephone, and to sit and/or stand at a workstation for a 7.5-hour workday. Must be able to drive to medical facilities when on-site abstraction is required.Working Conditions:Incumbent will be fully remote, but the position also requires in-state travel with some overnight travel possible.
