Dedicated medical assistant with strong administrative and clinical skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated medical assistant with extensive experience in both administrative and clinical roles. My journey began with a Medical Assistant Program at Brightwood Career Institute, where I developed a solid foundation in patient care and medical office operations. Since then, I have honed my skills at various healthcare facilities, including the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where I excelled in multitasking and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless patient care.
Throughout my career, I have utilized Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems like Epic and Athenahealth to manage patient documentation and scheduling effectively. My role as a phlebotomist at Jefferson Abington Health further enhanced my clinical skills, allowing me to perform various blood collection techniques while maintaining high standards of patient safety and care. Additionally, my volunteer experience in Ghana provided me with the opportunity to work in underserved communities, where I adapted to challenging environments and provided essential healthcare services.
