This position also includes providing immunizations, IV therapy, travel clinic services, triage services, international health screenings, and many other duties at some of the seasonal off-site clinics based on student population needs. In addition to hands on skills, this position will assist in presentations in the classrooms, and other collaboration needs within the Iowa State Community. The successful candidate will possess excellent written, oral, and interpersonal communication skills as well as the ability to demonstrate excellent teamwork, assessment, and critical thinking skills.
