@effyonanda
Healthcare Virtual Assistant supporting remote practices with patient coordination, EMR management, and AI-assisted workflows.
What I'm looking for
At The African Federation (TAF Wellness), I conduct remote literature reviews across digital health topics and turn clinical datasets and medical reports into structured briefs. My work has supported faster executive decision-making and more efficient research archives.
At Forage Academy’s AI Company Simulation, I annotated customer interaction logs for intent, sentiment, and privacy markers. I also audited labelled samples and documented taxonomy edge cases to support reliable machine learning workflows.
During my project-based training at ALX Africa, I triaged digital inboxes, maintained records in Google Sheets, and created task trackers in Trello. I also coordinated calendars across time zones and handled expense documentation.
I previously worked as a Healthcare Support - Clinical Officer at Alpo Medical Center and as a Clinical Officer Intern at Kakamega County General Hospital. I hold a Diploma in Clinical Medicine and Surgery and a HIPAA Privacy & Security Certification, and I’m seeking a Medical Virtual Assistant role focused on remote patient coordination and EMR management.
