About Synapticure
As a patient and caregiver-founded company, Synapticure provides instant access to expert neurologists, cutting-edge treatments and trials, and wraparound care coordination and behavioral health support in all 50 states through a virtual care platform. Partnering with providers and health plans, including CMS' new GUIDE dementia care model, Synapticure is dedicated to transforming the lives of millions of individuals and their families living with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS.
The Role
Synapticure is seeking a Field Patient Engagement Specialist to join our Patient Services & Outreach team.

You will represent Synapticure in the community, visiting patient homes, building relationships with physician offices, and finding creative ways to connect with patients who may not respond to traditional outreach. This role requires an empathetic, patient-centered approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work autonomously while managing a local territory. Your work will directly support our mission to ensure all patients—regardless of location or circumstance—can access the care and support they need.

- Collaborate with internal teams, including care coordination and clinical staff, to ensure seamless patient support
- Adhere to HIPAA and company policies to protect patient privacy and data security
- Participate in team meetings, trainings, and continuous improvement initiatives
Requirements – What we look for in you
- High school diploma or equivalent required; Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration, social work, marketing, or related field preferred
- Minimum 2 years of experience in patient engagement, community outreach, sales, or a related healthcare role
- Proven experience conducting both in-person and telephone-based patient outreach

Preferred Qualifications
