You will also assist in maintaining medical records in compliance with state and federal regulations, ensure scheduling accuracy to optimize provider and patient time, and contribute to the upkeep of office systems and equipment. This collaborative role requires reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team. Scheduled work hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Working at Thurston Medical Clinic offers numerous benefits, including access to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with in-network and custom network discounts.
