• Assist in managing schedules, clinical space, and flow to support productivity and a patient-centered environment.
• Ensure that all mind-body activities are in compliance with institutional policies, Joint Commission, Department of Health, HIPAA, and other regulatory and safety standards.

• Create and lead educational workshops for patients, families, staff, and trainees on mind-body approaches, yoga, and energy-based therapies.
• Participate in promotional and educational activities (e.g., videos, handouts, workshops, podcasts) that raise awareness of integrative mind-body offerings within NYU Langone and the broader community.
• Collaborate with Marketing and Public Relations, as appropriate, to highlight mind-body services as part of the Vitality Center.
• Support community outreach and partnerships that extend access to mind-body services.

Documentation, Quality & Research:

• Document all patient encounters, group sessions, and interventions in the EHR in accordance with NYU Langone standards.
• Contribute to program metrics and quality improvement initiatives (e.g., patient-reported outcomes, satisfaction, utilization).
• Participate in research or evaluative projects as appropriate: assisting with protocol implementation, recruitment, data collection, and presentations.
