Why this is worth applying to

CV angle
Highlight any security, compliance, IT, or health tech experience. Frame clinical background as deep understanding of healthcare workflows, regulatory requirements (MDR, ISO 27001), and stakeholder communication. Emphasize transferable skills like risk management, incident response, and cross-functional collaboration.
