Ehh - werkgeversreview Primary Care Physician bij Access Community Health Network

I was surrounded by equally passionate individuals about community-based research and health. I felt supported in my role if I had questions or needed help. If I stayed in the position longer, I would have been able to grow into more advanced roles. The pay was strong for an entry-level position with bonuses available throughout the year.

Research projects were led by universities, such as Northwestern or the University of Chicago. Oftentimes, the research teams from these universities never stepped foot into the health centers and used Access FQHCs for diverse study populations. Unfortunately, without being part of the research at health centers, these teams were unaware of the work being done by Access-employed research and clinic staff.

The mission is meaningful and many coworkers truly care about patients and the community. I gained valuable experience in organization, communication, and adaptability. My immediate team members were supportive and hardworking.

Communication from leadership was often inconsistent, and there was very little opportunity for advancement. Pay was low compared to the workload, and priorities frequently shifted without clear direction. The environment could feel disorganized and sometimes unsupportive, leading to burnout and turnover.
