Jira Project Coordinator

Who we are:

AMOpportunities is the pioneer of Clinical-Training-as-a-Service (“CTaaS”) and a leading provider of clinical education to healthcare students globally.  Our platform is the only comprehensive solution to the growing problem of supply and access to clinical training — it does so by providing hospitals revenue, staffing, recruitment, and a competitive edge to train students on rotations. 

AMO connects hospitals, medical & nursing students, and schools on one easy-to-use enterprise-based software platform in order to meet the growing demand for clinical training provision and administration in the United States. Most US hospitals appear at teaching capacity due to administrative or financial burdens, and AMO is the leader at solving these issues.

The worldwide shortages in healthcare necessitate a model for learning, training, and working anywhere. Our platform provides students on-demand clinical experiences with concierge services such as visa and housing support. AMO has hosted more than 2,700 international medical students and graduates in 200-plus clinical sites across the country. AMOpportunities grows every year, forming partnerships with academic institutions globally and connecting them to our partnered hospitals. We are paving the way for the future of healthcare education, breaking down not just borders but the traditional model of clinical education.
