• Patient Care – Greet and escort patients to procedure rooms; explain the surgical process and post‑operative care instructions; perform dressing changes, suture removal, and follow‑up wound assessments; respond to patient questions regarding their procedures and recovery.
• Medical Records – Update and maintain EMRs; document procedure notes, specimen details, and patient communications accurately.
• Supplies & Sterile Environment – Sterilize instruments and maintain strict infection control protocols; dispose of contaminated materials and biohazard waste properly; restock surgical suites and manage supply inventory.
