Detail-oriented healthcare administrative professional and virtual assistant focused on accurate scheduling and patient support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented, highly organized Virtual Assistant and healthcare administrative professional with hands-on experience supporting clinics and hospitals through remote assistance and direct patient-facing coordination. I’m known for confidentiality, accuracy, and delivering high-quality support that helps teams run smoothly.
In my current role as a Remote Medical Assistant, I manage patient communication, scheduling, and electronic health records (EHR) while supporting physicians with coordination tasks. I’ve improved appointment response time by 25% by using proactive communication and streamlining workflows.
Earlier, I served as a Medical Laboratory Support Assistant at Wuse District Hospital, where I entered, tested, and maintained patient records with strict attention to compliance and data protection. I also counseled patients, supported registration and intake within the Heart-to-Heart Unit, and improved documentation systems by reducing patient data retrieval time by 30%.
I also bring broad operational experience from clinical rotation work at the University of Nigeria Medical Center (reception, phlebotomy, hematology, chemistry, and microbiology), plus community outreach experience through NYSC support where I created digital content and coordinated communications. I enjoy combining administrative structure with customer support, problem-solving, and time management to keep processes reliable and responsive.
