educating patients, managing patient flow, and ensuring the smooth
operation of the clinic while maintaining a compassionate and

(e.g., blood pressure, temperature, weight), and assessing current
health status. Triage patients based on the severity of their
symptoms, and prioritize care according to clinical protocols.
Document patient information accurately in electronic medical
records (EMR) and communicate findings to the healthcare team.
Clinical Procedures and Treatments : Administer prescribed
medications and injections (e.g., vaccines, allergy shots,

procedures, such as wound care, dressing changes, venipuncture, and
lab specimen collection. Perform routine diagnostic tests and
screenings, including blood draws, EKGs, and urinalysis, as
required by the clinic's specialties. Prepare patients for
examinations and assist healthcare providers during procedures,
ensuring patient comfort and safety. Patient Education : Educate
patients and families about their conditions, treatment plans,
medications, and self-care techniques. Provide information about
preventive health measures, such as immunizations, screenings, and
lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking cessation). Teach
patients how to manage chronic conditions like diabetes,
hypertension, asthma, or heart disease through lifestyle
modifications and proper medication adherence. Care Coordination :
Collaborate with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other
healthcare providers to develop and implement personalized care
plans for patients. Schedule follow-up appointments, arrange
referrals to specialists, and provide instructions for future care.
Communicate with insurance companies regarding authorizations and
referrals when necessary. Assist in managing patient flow by
ensuring appointments are scheduled efficiently and that patients
are seen in a timely manner. Documentation and Reporting : Maintain
accurate and up-to-date medical records in compliance with clinic
and regulatory standards, ensuring patient data is confidential and
secure. Document all patient encounters, including assessments,
treatments, outcomes, and follow-up instructions in the EMR. Report
any concerns, adverse events, or complications to the healthcare
team immediately, ensuring timely intervention and appropriate
care. Administrative Support : Assist with patient intake,
registration, and insurance verification as needed. Ensure clinic
equipment is maintained, sterilized, and ready for use, and report
any malfunctions or need for repairs. Support clinic staff with
clerical duties, such as filing, organizing patient charts, and
managing supply inventories. Assist with billing processes,
ensuring that all relevant codes and documentation are provided for
accurate insurance claims. Infection Control and Safety : Adhere to
all clinic policies and procedures, including infection control
protocols, to ensure a safe and clean environment for patients and
staff. Educate patients on infection prevention and hygiene
practices, especially when managing wounds or chronic conditions.
Follow proper hand hygiene, sterilization, and PPE guidelines to
prevent the spread of infection. Patient Advocacy : Act as a
liaison between patients and the healthcare team, addressing
