• Complete chart preparation the night before, including reviewing the Athena schedule and organizing all necessary documentation for the next day’s visits.
• Ensure x-ray discs and other imaging are loaded and ready in advance so the physician can review them quickly during patient encounters.
• Confirm patient vitals and related information in the chart, ensuring accuracy and completeness (without independently taking or interpreting the vitals).
• Assist with room turnover between visits to maintain a fast-paced, efficient patient flow throughout the day.
• Support outpatient sports medicine care for patients with sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, tendonitis, bursitis, concussions, overuse injuries, arthritis, and post-surgical rehabilitation needs.
• Provide professional, courteous customer service to patients of all ages, helping them feel comfortable and informed during their visit.
• Collaborate closely with nursing and other medical assistants in the practice, contributing to an organized and team-oriented environment.
• Adapt to a high-volume schedule that may include up to 100 patient visits in a single day, maintaining accuracy and composure.
• Demonstrate a proactive, “yes” mindset by volunteering help, responding positively to requests, and supporting the team wherever needed.

Essential Skills

• Calm, mellow personality that works well within a highly organized, close-knit team.
• Strong organizational skills to manage schedules, charts, and room readiness in a busy practice.

• Comfort working with patients who have musculoskeletal injuries, arthritis, and rehabilitation needs.
