Summary

As a medical assistant, I play a critical role in supporting healthcare providers, ensuring the smooth operation of medical offices, and assisting with both administrative and clinical tasks. My responsibilities include greeting patients, managing appointments, handling billing, and assisting with patient exams, vital signs, and minor procedures.

In my role as a non-certified sterile processing technician, I contribute to the safety of medical instruments by cleaning, sterilizing, and inspecting them. Even without certification, I assist certified technicians, ensuring the instruments are safe and properly prepared for patient care.

As a patient transporter, I focus on safely moving patients within healthcare facilities, making sure they are comfortable and secure during transport. I maintain cleanliness and follow hygiene protocols while assisting with admissions and discharges.

As a surgical attendant, I support the surgical team by setting up the operating room, maintaining sterility, assisting the surgeon, and ensuring proper handling of specimens. I help ensure surgeries run smoothly by managing equipment and cleaning the operating room afterward.
