At AdventHealth, I excelled as a Surgery Scheduling Coordinator, while enhancing patient experiences and surgery preparations. My efforts with different medical teams and strong multitasking abilities led to improved operational efficiency, demonstrating reliability and effective communication in a high-stakes environment. I have been successful at setting up as many as 10-15 weekly procedures for 3 surgeons in a busy cardiology practice. Well-versed in checking coverage, obtaining authorizations and collecting payments as I started as a receptionist when first hired. Equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. Ready to tackle new challenges and eager to secure the Surgical Scheduler position.
