Job description

About Carda

Rehab is a pain. So much so that only 10% of qualifying Cardiac and Pulmonary patients attend, which results in complications for patients and at least $190B in costs. At Carda Health, we’ve reimagined rehab. Our program allows patients to complete engaging, compassionate, and life‑saving rehabilitation remotely.

Who are we?

We are a team of clinicians, data scientists, mathematicians and repeat entrepreneurs. And one recovering financier. Our united belief is that technology and data, when applied ethically and compassionately, can transform individuals’ lives and fundamentally change even the most entrenched industries. Carda was founded by Harry and Andrew, two friends from Wharton who share a family history of heart disease and experience with Cardiac Rehab. We now work with some of America’s largest and top‑ranked hospitals and most innovative insurers. We are fortunate to be backed by some of the best seed investors in the business who have also backed the likes of Livongo, Mammoth Biosciences, and Ro to name a few.

Who are you?

You are a talented Clinical Exercise Physiologist who will deliver care and support to our patients throughout our flagship virtual cardiac rehab program. You, like us, believe in the power of telehealth to expand access to life saving care and ultimately reinvent the way Americans receive healthcare. You will play a defining role in the success of the groundbreaking clinical studies we are running with world leading health systems in Pennsylvania and New York. If you are passionate about doing whatever it takes to help people in need and transforming the way millions of people receive life saving care then please apply!

• Be the first face‑to‑face touch point for many of the patients joining our program
• Provide high-quality clinical care utilizing best practices set forth by Carda’s Clinical team
• Perform health histories, evaluate patient records, suggest appropriate care paths
• Provide lifestyle recommendations to patients related to specific goals

• Work directly with founders to innovate and improve our cutting edge digital care delivery model
• Work collaboratively with our technology team to support a smooth experience for our patients and clients
• Be willing to do whatever it takes to ensure a great, engaging rehab experience for our patients
• Take pride in delivering high quality care for patients going through our rehab program
• Provide support to our patients, empowering them to be accountable and take ownership of their rehabilitation.

• Minimum 1+ years relevant experience and top performance working as an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac and/or Pulmonary Rehab
• Possess strong anatomy and physiology skills

• Great interpersonal skills that foster a caring environment for patients.
• Diligence and organization with the ability to create and adhere to repeatable processes.

• Attention to detail
• Experience with medication reconciliation for cardiac and pulmonary patients
• Passion for delivering high quality care to patients
• Experience with care in a virtual setting and a desire to learn and influence new technologies
• Highly organized with the ability to create, adhere to, and scale repeatable processes
