Responsibilities

• Room patients, obtain accurate vital signs, document medical histories, and prepare patients for examinations.
• Assist the provider with clinical procedures, exams, and treatments.
• Administer injections, perform blood draws (phlebotomy), and execute basic point-of-care laboratory tests.
• Accurately enter clinical data, allergies, medications, and laboratory orders into the EHR system.
• Sterilize medical equipment, stock exam rooms, monitor clinical inventory, and ensure compliance with OSHA and infection control standards.
• Cross-train to answer phones, greet patients, check individuals in/out, and schedule appointments during peak administrative windows or front-desk down-times.

Benefits

• Competitive hourly wages.
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance options for eligible employees.
• Retirement plans options.
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays, and other approved leaves.
• Employer paid life and long-term disability insurances; and voluntary life and short-term disability options, as applicable.
