What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my patient care skills in a supportive and collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated medical assistant with a strong background in patient care and clinical support. My experience spans various roles in reputable healthcare institutions, where I have honed my skills in patient assessments, vital sign monitoring, and assisting physicians in examinations. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively communicate with a diverse patient population.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene and patient confidentiality. I have successfully managed patient flow, assisted with referrals, and educated patients on their care processes. My proficiency with EMR systems, particularly Epic and LifeChart, has enabled me to streamline administrative tasks and enhance the overall patient experience.
