  In this practice each physician has their own nurse. While working here I handle all aspects of that physicians practice. I schedule all surgeries, pre-ops, and post operative appointments. I also coordinate all pre-op testing and surgical clearance that needs to be done on all patients. As well as history and physicals needed for surgery. I coordinate the upcoming surgical hardware that will be needed with all the reps from each company. All of the physical therapy forms, medication requests and voice mails were my responsibility. Dressing changes, splinting, casting, application of braces for an assortment of injuries and fractures were included in my responsibilities. The physician I work for is an upper extremity specialist. All of the documentation in the office is electronic medical records so I am familiar with computer charting and computers in general. I assisted the physician in the rooms with patients intermittently to enter physical exams into the patient's medical records Show less
