• Work in EPIC, including workqueues, worklists, in‑basket messaging, and document scanning
• Schedule referrals and follow‑up appointments
• Help patients complete required forms and paperwork

Your attention to detail and compassionate communication help ensure appointments stay on schedule and patients feel supported throughout their visit.

• Work collaboratively with teammates and providers to improve efficiency and the patient experience
• Participate in emergency preparedness activities as needed
• Maintain a clean, organized workspace
