• Post-Visit & Follow-Up: Complete post-visit workflows, coordinate follow-up care (e.g., diagnostic tests, referrals), communicate normal test results, and address member needs promptly.

• Operational Support: Manage daily clinic tasks, utilize healthcare platforms for documentation and communication, participate in morning huddles, and assist with training new Medical Assistants.
