I seek to maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing my leadership skills and interpersonal skills. To be play a vital roll in a clinic that requires knowledge of multiple modalities, along with the experience and training to apply that knowledge. I am flexible with covering at different locations, as well as working overtime, weekends, and being on call for emergencies.
My history in Pediatric Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Casting/Bracing and work flexibility makes me the obvious choice when it comes to an Urgent Care and Family Practice office. Especially in situations where injuries or acute illness is presented. When the trust of a child is crucial,and having empathy in difficult or embarrassing situations is a must.
My keen eye for detail used in Mortgage underwriting allows for more accurate triage of patients, as well as accuracy in charting.
