What is Optimum CareerPath?
Optimum CareerPath is a targeted recruiting, training, and placement program focused on identifying and training high aptitude, early-career employees. These employees are then placed with our healthcare clients to help fill their teams with diverse, high-potential budget-friendly talent.

We Recruit.
This program removes the cost and risk associated with hiring entry-level staff that may not be a fit for your organization/role, or those who leave soon after on-boarding and training completes.

Optimum CareerPath starts with the CHIME digital health professional certification program that includes a 6-week intensive boot camp of general healthcare fundamentals, IT and Project Management fundamentals, Change Management and Readiness, Clinical Informatics, and Professional Soft Skills development.

We Onboard.
After 2 years, Optimum CareerPath graduates can be converted to full-time employees of your health system as seasoned resources that you know and work well with.

We Deploy.
There is no cost to you until they are staffed on your project. We like to call this a “try before you buy” model and guarantee quality to ensure success.
On the other side, these managers get to bring in folks that are really excited about contributing and that lifts the whole team because everybody taps into that excitement and it can be a really great elevator for everybody in the organization...
They are learning and growing and taking on more challenges each week. I am truly impressed with the caliber of [CareerPath] candidates you sent us, and they’ve already become valued El Rio IT team members.
We weren’t sure what to expect when we embarked on this experiment, but I’m very pleased with the initial results.
