What does it mean to be a part of a startup?

Working at a healthcare startup can be a unique experience with a fast-paced, ever-changing environment that can involve varied workloads, quick changes, and high expectations. Taking a position at a Healthcare startup allows for the opportunity to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system. You will have the chance to be creative, solution oriented, and have your voice heard! You will need to be flexible, accountable, and self-sufficient, and you might take on multiple roles. Here are some things you can expect: 

- Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats & juggle various responsibilities

- Learning opportunities- you will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn

  about new roles & areas

- Fast Paced- Startups often must move faster than traditional large companies. This means you may be asked to cope with

 or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes

- Autonomy- You will need to be highly autonomous, as there is less structure and learning and development than at large

  orgs. This requires you to be able to learn asynchronously, as well as raise your hand when help is needed, or gaps are

  identified
