  • Health Promotion and Preventive Care:

    • Advocate for patient wellness by promoting preventive services such as annual check-ups, cancer screenings, immunizations, and wellness exams.
    • Identify risk factors for common conditions and provide educational materials and resources to encourage healthy lifestyle changes.
    • Assist in managing chronic disease care (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, asthma) by monitoring patient symptoms and supporting self-management strategies.
  • Documentation and Record Keeping:

    • Maintain accurate and up-to-date patient records in the electronic medical record (EMR) system, documenting patient history, assessments, treatments, and outcomes.
    • Ensure all patient interactions, diagnoses, and treatments are appropriately documented in accordance with clinic protocols and legal standards.
