Work is performed at the Fort Hall Service Unit facility during normal operating hours (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays and administrative closures). Personnel must hold current professional licenses and certifications appropriate to each discipline, minimum Basic Life Support certification, English proficiency, and experience in outpatient or ambulatory care settings. All assigned personnel must satisfy Section 408 of the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act for positions involving contact with Indian children and comply with HIPAA, OSHA, CDC, and Indian Health Service policies.
