Terri Upson
@terriupson
I’m a detail-driven Scheduling Coordinator who streamlines patient scheduling with EPIC and organized follow-through.
What I'm looking for
I’m an organized, people-oriented professional who enjoys learning, expanding my knowledge, and helping organizations meet their goals. My background combines administrative support, confidential document handling, and scheduling in fast-paced environments.
In my recent role as a Scheduling Coordinator for Orlando Health, I schedule across five clinical offices for the Department of General Surgery. I manage post-op scheduling and consultations (including hernia and gallbladder removals), using the EPIC system while handling inbound calls and making outbound calls to ensure patients are booked accurately.
Earlier, I built a strong foundation through administrative and operations work—answering high-volume phone lines, coordinating appointments, scanning and filing sensitive information, and supporting community and on-campus event operations. I also gained customer-service and de-escalation experience through healthcare front-line support and call-center environments.
My education and training in biology and crime scene investigations add an investigative, detail-focused perspective. As a crime scene investigations ride-along intern, I collected trace evidence, captured forensic photographs, and supported report-writing with careful attention to names, anatomical details, and scene documentation.
