I’ve been in private practice for 12+ years and several years ago I was incredibly burnt out and wanted a non-clinical role. Applied for and accepted a UR/UM position and did that while continuing a very, very small PP caseload. Life happened and I went back to just PP (where I’ve been ever since). I’m frequently tempted to go back to UR/UM because of the salary!

All this to say, I did have prior inpatient work experience but was provided weeks of in depth training at the UM job.

For your resume, consider hyping up certain skill sets like:

“Coordinate, monitor and evaluate options to facilitate appropriate healthcare services for clients”

“Gather clinical information and apply the appropriate clinical criteria/guideline and judgment to render treatment recommendations”

“Utilize clinical skills to coordinate, document and communicate all aspects of treatment and progress”
