Clinical
Manager

both administrative and medical capacities to ensure that the establishment for
which they work runs smoothly. Clinical managers often work for doctors'
offices, clinics, long-term care facilities, and outpatient facilities. Typical
duties of a clinical manager include managing clinical, professional,
administrative, and clerical staff; managing the recruitment, development of,
and appraisal of staff; overseeing day-to-day management; developing and
implementing policies and directives; setting and monitoring budgets; attending
meetings; handling communications; and making purchasing decisions.

pathways.
