TechBreakfast
I am at the Baltimore TechBreakfast to promote our Associate Entrepreneur-in-Residence Opportunity at CMS. We are looking for a Java expert to help take an Open Source FHIR Platform and improve it to support 50M Medicare Beneficiaries. This is a unique opportunity to build a platform that enables Medicare Beneficiaries to connect their health data with the applications and services they trust. It is a one year assignment to act like a startup inside one of the most influential organizations in healthcare.
Here are the details for the meetup
