- Collaborate with program staff and coaching leadership to prepare members for coaching and set clear expectations.
- Utilize presentation and facilitation techniques to deliver clear, engaging, and accessible educational content.
- Follow approved educational content, program guidance, and organizational policies.
- Direct any patient-specific or clinical questions to the member's healthcare professional.
About You
- Active Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) certification.
- Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, Health Education, or a related field.
- At least 3 years of experience delivering live virtual health education, webinars, or group presentations for adult audiences.
