What I'm looking for

I seek remote clinical roles supporting U.S. providers where I can apply my EHR expertise, telehealth skills, and clinical background in a collaborative, efficient environment.

I am a bilingual physician with over three years of remote healthcare experience supporting U.S.-based providers as a medical scribe and virtual healthcare assistant. I excel at patient intake, chart preparation, telehealth workflows, and precise documentation across multiple EHR systems, bringing a strong clinical foundation in radiology, cardiology, and internal medicine.

I have a Doctor of Medicine degree (Cum Laude) and clinical experience in diverse settings including cardiology and radiology rotations in U.S. hospitals, plus inpatient rotations in Honduras. I contribute to peer-reviewed research and hold a national medical license; I adapt quickly to provider workflows and deliver accurate, timely support in fast-paced remote environments.
