Operational & Administrative Duties

  • Manage patient flow to support efficient clinic operations.
  • Schedule appointments, verify insurance, and assist with procedure authorizations if needed.
  • Maintain inventory of supplies, including endoscopy-specific equipment and disinfectants.
  • Follow all OSHA, HIPAA, and infection-control regulations and participate in ongoing compliance training.
  • Support quality improvement initiatives and participate in staff meetings and training.

  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
  • Ability to lift, move, or position patients or equipment as required.

Preferred

  • Prior experience in GI/endoscopy or sterile processing.
  • Certification or training in endoscope reprocessing (e.g., SGNA GI Technician training, CSPDT/CRCST).
  • Experience with electronic health records (Epic, Cerner, etc.).

Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities
