Alessia Galindo
@alessiagalindo
Medical Assistant and clinical coordinator specializing in patient-centered remote and in-clinic care.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Medical Assistant and clinical coordinator who focuses on clear communication, patient safety, and reliable follow-through—whether I’m coordinating care remotely or supporting clinical teams in person.
In my most recent role as a Clinical Care Coordinator, Dispatch Health, I coordinated care for patients remotely as a Medical Assistant liaison between Providers, Patients, Pharmacies, and care teams—handling a high call volume while maintaining professionalism, empathy, and HIPAA compliance.
My clinical background includes Clinical Technician II experience at Inova Schar Cancer Institute, Virginia Hospital Center, and Inova Health System. I helped ensure safety and smooth patient flow by performing tests and procedures (including IVs and blood draws), supporting nurses and nurse managers, assisting with PACU/OR-related tasks, and maintaining compliance with laboratory and clinical protocols.
I also bring strong service and training experience from volunteering as a Volunteer-Trainee EMT with Lorton Fire Department, where I learned CPR/First Aid/AED and supported on-call scenarios. Across my roles, I’ve built a dependable, fast-paced work style grounded in analytical problem-solving, measurable organization, and effective conflict management.
