You are highly organized and detail-oriented, coordinating patient communications such as lab results, medication refills, dosage changes, and provider instructions with accuracy and professionalism.

You thrive in a collaborative team environment and bring strong communication skills, empathy, and a commitment to delivering quality care to every patient you serve.

What You'll Do:

* Work cooperatively with team members to monitor schedules, assist with immunizations or rooming patients as needed, and support call volume.

* Participate in developing clinical policies/protocols and assist in processing patient paperwork (e.g., disability forms, authorizations, return-to-work letters).

* Maintain personal and clinical knowledge through education and comply with continuing education laws.

* Keep office and exam spaces clean, restock supplies, replace sharps containers, and perform opening/closing duties and lunch coverage per protocol.

* Be familiar with community resources to assist patients and attend mandatory safety and infection control trainings.

* Demonstrate sensitivity to cultural diversity and maintain age-related competence.
