To support this growth, we are seeking an experienced and relationship-driven professional to help establish hospital-based training partnerships throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area.

The primary focus of this position is developing relationships with hospitals and health systems to create and expand clinical education opportunities for our nursing students. This position requires a candidate with a strong understanding of the Atlanta healthcare community, established relationships within local hospitals and health systems, and the ability to connect with key decision-makers across nursing leadership, education, academic affiliations, workforce development, and hospital administration.

Job Summary

The Hospital Partnerships & Outreach Specialist will serve as MDT Institute's primary representative for developing relationships with hospitals and health systems in Georgia.

This position will focus on identifying prospective hospital partners, reaching the appropriate decision-makers, leveraging existing professional relationships and networks where possible, and developing those connections into meaningful partnerships.

The Specialist will work closely with MDT leadership and nursing program leadership to introduce our proposed nursing programs, identify potential clinical opportunities, understand each hospital's partnership and approval process, and advance qualified opportunities toward letters of intent and formal affiliation agreements.

A key measure of success in this role will be the ability to connect MDT Institute with the right hospital leaders and develop those introductions into sustainable partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify and develop relationships with hospitals and health systems throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area and surrounding Georgia communities.
• Leverage existing professional relationships and healthcare networks to connect with hospital leaders and key decision-makers.
• Conduct targeted outreach and arrange meetings with nursing leadership, education departments, academic affiliation teams, workforce development leaders, and hospital administrators.
• Present MDT Institute's nursing programs and clinical education needs to prospective hospital partners.
• Build and maintain relationships with hospital partners through consistent follow-up and identify opportunities for student clinical experiences.
• Navigate hospital affiliation requirements and advance qualified partnerships toward letters of intent and executed affiliation agreements.
• Coordinate with MDT leadership and maintain clear records and updates on outreach activity, partnership progress, and next steps.

Why Join Us?

• Help Develop New Nursing Programs: Play a critical role in building the hospital partnerships needed to support nursing education programs in Georgia.
• Use Your Healthcare Network to Make an Impact: Apply your relationships and knowledge of the Atlanta healthcare community to expand training opportunities for future nurses.
• Relationship-Focused Role: Focus on opening doors, developing partnerships, and connecting with healthcare leaders rather than managing day-to-day student scheduling.
• Work Directly With Leadership: Collaborate closely with MDT's executive leadership, nursing program leadership, and compliance team.
