Work is performed primarily in a virtual or standard office environment.  Essential functions require sufficient physical ability and mobility to work in an office setting; to stand or sit for prolonged periods; to occasionally bend, kneel, and reach; to lift, carry, push/pull light to moderate amounts of weight; to operate office equipment that may require fine motor coordination (i.e., use of a keyboard). On occasion, these activities may be performed in interventional suites while wearing lead garments. Reasonable accommodations may be made when an employee has a qualified disability but can still perform the essential functions of the job (without creating an undue hardship).
