Are you a healthcare provider, clinic, or health tech company that needs someone reliable, HIPAA-trained, and experienced with real patients โ€” not just someone who read about it? I'm a Medical Virtual Assistant with hands-on experience in telehealth support, patient coordination, and EHR documentation for US-based healthcare providers. I've worked directly with patients navigating virtual care โ€” resolving access issues, managing scheduling, handling intake, and keeping clinical staff informed in real time. I know how to handle sensitive health information with the accuracy and discretion it requires. What I bring to your team: โ†’ HIPAA Compliance โ€” certified and practiced, not just checked off a box โ†’ EHR & Scheduling โ€” maintained accurate patient records and coordinated care in live clinical environments โ†’ Patient-Centered Communication โ€” 4+ years as a private caregiver means I understand what patients actually need, not just what systems say they need โ†’ Tech Fluency โ€” BS in Computer Science, Google Data Analytics Certificate, QA testing background โ†’ Reliability above everything โ€” my work history shows years of commitment to the same clients and teams, not months I'm looking for one long-term role with a company where I can grow, be trusted with real responsibility, and show up every day as someone you genuinely depend on. If that's what your team needs, I'd love to hear from you.
