CLS Positions - Montana

My name is Beth Ann and I am the Allied Health Recruitment Coordinator for the state of Montana. I am trying to contact a number of CLS programs to get word out about open positions in Montana.

We have a website – www.3RNet.org – which stands for the National Rural Recruitment and Retention Network (3RNet). Its members are not-for-profit organizations helping health professionals find jobs in rural and underserved areas throughout the country. We are the Montana state representative for this website, which means we have full access all 3RNet candidates and facilities posting positions.

I have attached an ad for a current position we have in Cut Bank, MT. The link below is the entire job posting for the position on the 3RNet website.
