Reports To: Clinical Director

It is our policy to allow for transfers only after the first six months of employment. We believe that the introductory period is one of learning about the company and is usually best done under the guidance of one supervisor whenever possible. We also believe that most of our jobs require at least a six month learning curve, and that it would be difficult to transfer and succeed in the new position during that time frame. We are a growing company and many more opportunities will become available in the future
