Nic started his career as a Registered Nurse in the Operating Room as a Circulating/Scrub Nurse at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in 2008. He was quickly promoted to managing multiple Surgical Service lines and eventually managing the entire Surgery Department. While functioning in those roles, part of his duties included participating in Value Analysis Committees such as New Product Requests, Clinical Contracting, and Capital Equipment Planning. Over time, he developed an affinity for the Value Analysis profession and shifted his career focus towards this field of healthcare. Since then, Nic has worked as the Manager of Value Analysis at UAMS, served as a Clinical Resource Manager for Common Spirit’s East/Southeast Division, been Chief Clinical Service Officer at a large Arkansas Specialty Group, and is now back at UAMS functioning as the Director of Contracting.
