You thrive in a collaborative team environment and bring strong communication skills, empathy, and a commitment to delivering quality care to every patient you serve.

Work cooperatively with team members to monitor schedules, assist with immunizations or rooming patients as needed, and support call volume.
Participate in developing clinical policies/protocols and assist in processing patient paperwork (e.g., disability forms, authorizations, return-to-work letters).
