Creative Work Models for Clinical Labor—featuring Aamer Mumtaz

Revolutionizing the clinical labor marketplace in healthcare has always sounded challenging. In this episode, Aamer Mumtaz, Senior Vice President of Growth and Operations, talks about how ShiftMed proposes a solution to the nurse staffing shortage with a technology-based platform for healthcare systems and facilities. As a society, nursing jobs still need to be given the financial incentives they deserve. ShiftMed seeks to change that with a flexible model that uses a W-2-based local workforce supported by the company and its platform to avoid contract labor. Aamer explains how the hiring system works and how employees can have a good work experience without worrying about transportation, thanks to a partnership with Uber. Tune in to learn how ShiftMed’s work model takes care of healthcare workers so they can care for patients!
