   • Document patient information accurately in electronic medical records (EMR) and communicate findings to the healthcare team.
2. Clinical Procedures and Treatments :
   • Administer prescribed medications and injections (e.g., vaccines, allergy shots, biologics) as ordered by the physician.
   • Assist with minor medical procedures, such as wound care, dressing changes, venipuncture, and lab specimen collection.

3. Patient Education :
   • Educate patients and families about their conditions, treatment plans, medications, and self-care techniques.
   • Provide information about preventive health measures, such as immunizations, screenings, and lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, smoking cessation).
   • Teach patients how to manage chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, or heart disease through lifestyle modifications and proper medication adherence.
4. Care Coordination :
   • Collaborate with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers to develop and implement personalized care plans for patients.
   • Schedule follow-up appointments, arrange referrals to specialists, and provide instructions for future care.
   • Communicate with insurance companies regarding authorizations and referrals when necessary.
   • Assist in managing patient flow by ensuring appointments are scheduled efficiently and that patients are seen in a timely manner.
5. Documentation and Reporting :
   • Maintain accurate and up-to-date medical records in compliance with clinic and regulatory standards, ensuring patient data is confidential and secure.
   • Document all patient encounters, including assessments, treatments, outcomes, and follow-up instructions in the EMR.
   • Report any concerns, adverse events, or complications to the healthcare team immediately, ensuring timely intervention and appropriate care.
6. Administrative Support :
   • Assist with patient intake, registration, and insurance verification as needed.
   • Ensure clinic equipment is maintained, sterilized, and ready for use, and report any malfunctions or need for repairs.
   • Support clinic staff with clerical duties, such as filing, organizing patient charts, and managing supply inventories.
   • Assist with billing processes, ensuring that all relevant codes and documentation are provided for accurate insurance claims.
7. Infection Control and Safety :
   • Adhere to all clinic policies and procedures, including infection control protocols, to ensure a safe and clean environment for patients and staff.
   • Educate patients on infection prevention and hygiene practices, especially when managing wounds or chronic conditions.
   • Follow proper hand hygiene, sterilization, and PPE guidelines to prevent the spread of infection.
8. Patient Advocacy :
   • Act as a liaison between patients and the healthcare team, addressing concerns and ensuring that patients' needs are met in a timely manner.
   • Advocate for patients by helping them understand their treatment options and make informed decisions about their healthcare.
