Professional Experience

May 2010- August 2010, Obstetrics and Gynecology Medical Assistant, Dr. Silva M.D. & Dr. Kacenga D.O.

Responsibilities:

My tasks in the ob/gyn office include taking medical histories and recording vital signs, fetal heart tones, weight,

height, explaining treatment procedures to patients, preparing patients for examinations, and assisting providers during

examinations in both sterile and non-sterile environments. I also collected and prepared laboratory specimens and

sometimes perform basic laboratory tests, dispose of contaminated supplies, and sterilize medical instruments. Prepare

treatment rooms for patient examinations, keeping the rooms neat and clean. As directed by providers, I instructed

patients about medications and special diets, prepare and administer medications, authorize drug refills, telephone

prescriptions to a pharmacy, draw blood, remove sutures, and change dressings. I also arranged examining room

instruments and equipment, purchase and maintain supplies and equipment, and keep waiting and examining rooms

neat and clean. While conducting all of these tasks HIPPA rights were always being enforced. I also ensured that all

patients had all lab tests; sonograms scheduled, and tested urine for abnormalities with each visit. NSTs were also

preformed on a regular basis.

April 2010-May 2010, Pediatric Medical Assistant, Arizona Family Care Associates

Responsibilities:

My duties as a pediatric MA varied greatly from the ob/gyn office. Office automation was mostly done by computer

with minimal paper charting. Checking schedules and organizing patient flow was completed in both front and back

office; as well as sending and receiving patient medical records; obtaining lab / x-ray reports, hospital notes, receiving

and sending referral information and scheduling appointments as needed. Most of my day consisted of conducting

yearly and sports physicals. These physicals often included weight, height, vision and hearing screening, temperature,

pulse, and respiration rate. Vaccinations and antigens where administered throughout the day and with most

appointments. Providing information to new parents on proper care of their infants was also a very important part of

the job. Circumcisions were completed in office by the physician with any of our MA’s help. Cultures and specimens

were often collected and processed.

December 2005-July 2009, Telemetry/ICU/Emergency Room Tech II, Sierra Vista Regional Health Center

Responsibilities:

Ward Clerk- Duties consist of logging in new orders, changing old orders, notifying physicians, nurses, and other

multiple phone lines, transferring calls, and operating and maintaining various office equipment. Filing paperwork,

charting all activities completed, chart maintenance, supply stocking and management was a daily task. Knowledge of

computer based medical charting and ordering, specifically CERNER and Affinity. Basic computer skills used daily

with Windows, Microsoft, and Excel; organization and cleaning of all equipment, patient, and work areas.

Monitor Tech- Basic EKG placement and interpretation, notification of nurses with EKG and vital sign changes.

Floor Tech- Patient care varied from patient to patient. Such care may include; recognizing skin integrity, vital

signs, intake and output observed and recorded, ambulation and transportation, activities of daily living, assisting and

setting up with many procedures. Helping RN’s and Physician’s with procedures, set-up and other tasks. If required,

CPR and basic airway maintenance.

ER Tech- As an Emergency Room Tech my duties varied greatly. Triaging patients, assisting with ambulance

arrivals, patient care, material stocking and ordering. Placing temporary casts, patient teaching, vital signs, assisting

physicians with procedures, and assisted with all cardiac arrests.

I assisted with health related assignments in the care and treatment of inmates. Including holding sick call, taking vital

signs, evaluating and recording chief complaints, making necessary judgments to treat or send inmates to a higher level

of care, checking blood sugars, assisting with procedure, performing first aid and CPR, passing medications. I worked

closely with other EMTs, RNs, and Physicians in providing appropriate health care, filing records, documenting in

charts, keeping inventories, ordering supplies and pharmaceuticals, and maintaining equipment and the facility.

June 2005- September 2005, Emergency Medical Technician, Healthcare Innovations

Responsibilities:

Main job responsibilities as an EMT-B were patient care and safety. Duties varied from airway maintenance to wound

care and dressing applications, to assisting with and EKG. Detailed documentation of each patient and the nature of the

call were performed after each call. Cleaning, sanitizing, and organizing equipment was also a daily responsibility.

Computer filing, multi-line phone operation, being quick and calm to react in emergency situations and being detailed

oriented were key factors in performing daily duties.

September 2002- August 2005, Bakery Clerk, Food City

Responsibilities:

challenging but never beyond my reach. They ranged from customer service, food distribution, mutli-phone line

operation, electronics maintenance, cleaning, organization, and supervisory decisions when needed.
