• Provide patient education regarding wound care, postoperative instructions, and treatment plans as directed by the provider.
• Maintain accurate documentation, organized workspaces, and compliance with clinical and safety standards.
• Take ownership of daily responsibilities and help identify opportunities to improve efficiency and the patient experience.

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to multitask, prioritize, and remain organized in a busy practice.
• Dependable attendance, punctuality, and reliable transportation to both Canton and Troy locations.
• Ability to work independently, anticipate needs, and take initiative without constant direction.
• A compassionate, patient-focused approach to care.
• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to support the entire team.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Previous podiatry, orthopedic, surgical, or wound care experience.
• Experience performing diagnostic X-rays.
• Experience assisting with advanced wound care and in-office surgical procedures.
• Familiarity with eClinicalWorks or similar EMR systems.
• Medical Assistant certification (CMA or RMA).
