This position is located within the Bureau of Medical Services, Directorate for Clinical Programs, reporting to the Deputy Medical Director for Clinical Services.

The incumbent will assist with the mental and emotional support of these patients and their eligible family members, helping them navigate resources and closing gaps in care as the Foreign Service Medical Specialists transition through the different stages of medical travel.
