As an Ophthalmic Technician, I play a key role in supporting the daily operations of the clinic by assisting both patients and physicians. My responsibilities begin with reviewing the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system to verify patient appointments and ensure they are checked in. I then escort patients from the waiting room to the exam room and initiate preliminary eye examinations.

Key duties include conducting vision tests, recording patient history, and documenting any changes in vision or new medical concerns for the physician. I measure and record intraocular pressure, perform eye dilation procedures, and conduct specialized eye scans as needed. Additionally, I assist in preparing patients for treatments such as laser procedures and injections, ensuring their eyes are prepped accordingly.

I also play an essential role in post-operative care by dispensing and explaining prescribed medications, preparing medication samples, and assisting patients during follow-up visits, including one-day post-op exams. My role extends to directly assisting physicians during procedures, including counting and preparing medication for injections.

With a strong focus on patient care and clinical efficiency, I contribute to a seamless workflow while ensuring a high standard of service for both patients and medical staff.

As a Patient Care Technician, my primary responsibility is to ensure the well-being and safety of patients throughout my shift. At the start of each shift, I conduct routine checks in every patient room to assess their condition and address any immediate needs. I perform essential health assessments, including blood glucose monitoring for diabetic patients, as well as measuring vital signs such as blood pressure, oxygen levels, and temperature.

Following these assessments, I assist patients in transitioning to the cafeteria for meals, working alongside other Patient Care Technicians to maintain a safe and structured environment. Throughout the day, I support patients in engaging with various therapeutic activities, including group discussions with counselors, peer support sessions, and structured activities facilitated by patient care staff.

In addition to daily patient support, I provide wound care for individuals with existing or new injuries, ensuring proper treatment and infection prevention. I also perform electrocardiogram (EKG) tests to monitor patients’ heart activity and conduct blood draws for laboratory testing as ordered by physicians. My role requires strong attention to detail, clinical expertise, and compassionate patient interaction to promote overall health and recovery.

As a dedicated and hardworking Medical Assistant, I have extensive experience in managing both patient care and administrative duties in a fast-paced, medical office environment. I’m passionate about helping patients feel comfortable and cared for from the moment they check in until their appointment concludes. My daily responsibilities included checking in patients for their appointments, escorting them to exam rooms, and taking vital signs to prepare for the doctor. I was also responsible for gathering patient intake information, ensuring the doctor had all the necessary details to provide the best care possible.

I was frequently involved in administrative tasks such as scanning in faxed medical records from other offices and maintaining accurate patient charts. I also took on the important task of handling prior authorizations for medications, X-rays, MRIs, and other medical procedures, ensuring that everything was processed smoothly for our patients. Additionally, I assisted with injections alongside other medical assistants whenever a patient required one. This teamwork allowed us to provide timely and efficient care for our patients.

One of my key responsibilities was working directly with insurance companies to verify patient coverage and ensure that all information was up to date. I also helped track and manage referrals to make sure patients had access to the care they needed. My role required a high level of organization, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask while maintaining a friendly, professional demeanor with patients and staff alike. I am committed to supporting healthcare teams in delivering exceptional care and ensuring smooth clinic operations.

As a dedicated and proactive Material Service Partner, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the fast-paced, high-pressure demands of the operating room environment. My day-to-day role involved scrubbing into surgeries, where I was responsible for managing the daily list of surgery cases, ensuring that all required instruments and equipment were ready and available. A key part of my job was assisting surgeons by quickly locating and providing the tools they needed during procedures, contributing to a seamless surgical flow.

I was constantly on my toes, moving in and out of the operating rooms to ensure everything was running smoothly, and often worked closely with my team to switch out and deliver instruments as necessary. When needed, I would head to the ISC (Instrument Sterilization Center) to take dirty carts down to the loading dock for pickup, ensuring that the supply chain remained uninterrupted. I was also often called to different areas of the hospital, where I’d provide support to other OR rooms, especially during urgent situations like HOT CASES, ensuring that critical needs were met quickly and efficiently.

My role required a high level of adaptability, communication, and teamwork, as I was consistently moving between various departments to provide assistance where it was needed most. The ability to stay organized under pressure while ensuring that surgical teams had everything they needed was key to maintaining an efficient and effective operating environment. My commitment to ensuring the availability of equipment and resources directly contributed to the overall success of the surgical team and patient outcomes.
