Elle Fishwick
@ellefishwick
Medical and surgical assistant who turns clinical workflows and research data into better patient outcomes.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Medical and Surgical Assistant delivering precise patient intake, vital signs, and clinical documentation while managing high-volume workflows. In my current role, I efficiently manage over 60 patient charts weekly using Praxis EMR and ensure accurate data input and lab result tracking.
I support operative care end-to-end—facilitating 50+ surgical procedures through surgical tray preparation/equipment setup, intra-procedure assistance, tissue retraction, and passing instruments. I also streamline surgical scheduling weekly by collaborating with surgical teams and administrative staff, and I’ve trained 8 new assistants on operative case support, appointment care, and medical billing.
Alongside clinical work, I contribute as an Undergraduate Research Assistant developing novel macrocyclic contrast imaging agents and presenting at three undergraduate poster conferences, one oral presentation, and regional conference. I’m equally committed to documentation quality—at Scribe America, I improved data accuracy by 25% and reduced retrieval time by 45% using Smart Care—paired with strong academics (B.S. Biological Sciences, GPA 3.91, Dean’s List).
