Medical Assistant / Orthopedic Technician
CurrentI am currently employed at St. Clair Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, where I have been working as a Medical Assistant and Orthopedic Technician since May 2022. My responsibilities include ordering X-rays, inputting patient information, completing patient histories, performing orthopedic wound care, applying and setting casts and braces, completing orders, and scribing doctors' notes. My college education provided me with the foundational knowledge necessary for these roles, and I have undergone extensive training to proficiently scribe and conduct patient physical exams based on the doctor’s instructions and findings.In addition to my duties in the clinic, I have had the privilege of observing various surgical cases in our attached operating rooms. This experience has greatly enhanced my technical skills and deepened my appreciation for patient care. The mentorship I have received from our surgeons has been invaluable, instilling in me a profound sense of compassion and ethical responsibility towards patients and their families.
