- Order and interpret diagnostic studies including laboratory panels, diagnostic imaging, and electrocardiograms to guide clinical decision-making.

- Prescribe and manage patient medications in accordance with VA formulary policies and established guidelines.

- Coordinate referrals and consultations with clinical sub-specialists, and manage transitions of care including discharges and follow-up arrangements.

- Perform core clinical procedures such as abscess incision and drainage and fecal occult blood testing.

- Complete accurate clinical documentation and select appropriate E&M procedure codes in CPRS/EHR at the close of each patient encounter, and communicate test results to patients in timely compliance with VA notification standards.
