Medical Secretary/Technician

Medical Secretary/Technician Needed 

 Do you love gadgets and gizmos as much as you love working with people? Love to geek out on science/medical marvel TV shows until way past your bedtime? Then we want to talk to you about our Medical Secretary/Technician position.

Our busy optical practice needs a Medical Secretary/Technician to help us give patients a 5-star experience every time they’re here. This is a full-time position at our office in Woonsocket.

What you’ll be doing as a Medical Secretary/Technician:

As a Medical Secretary/Technician, you’re the “nurse” of the Eye Care practice. You’ll be handing a lot of the important work that goes on to set the doctor and the patient up for success. As the first person to work with each patient during their appointment, you’ll be the one that calms their nerves, gets them in a great mood, and shows them that we are there to serve them in every way we can!

Your duties will include:

-       Taking the patient back to the exam room and verifying their medical history

-       Spending 15+ minutes with each patient before the doctor comes in, performing duties such as measuring retinal function, peripheral vision, and retinal thickness; and taking retinal photographs. (You’ll be using the same type of instruments NASA uses on the space station!)

-       Taking notes for the doctor during the patient’s exam.

-       Ordering proper tests based on the doctor’s diagnoses.

-       Educating our patients in the care, use, application of contact lenses

-       Consistent cross-training for optimal career growth

-       Properly coding procedures so everything gets paid by the patient’s insurance.

Why this job is more than a job

In Eye Care, we change people’s lives. We help grandma and grandpa keep their independence by saving their eyesight. We help kids get better grades because they can finally see the board! We prevent devastating traffic accidents, allow parents to take in every detail on their children’s faces, and help people enjoy a higher quality of life – because life is so much better when you can SEE.

If you want a career where you can directly impact the well-being of your community, this is it!

Experience Needed:

Experience is a plus, but it’s certainly not required. We offer paid training to the right person with a great attitude, a helpful heart, and a love of learning! We will make sure you’re totally confident working with the equipment and patients before you start handling these tasks alone. We won’t throw you to the wolves!
