The Opportunity
We are looking for a detail-oriented, healthcare-fluent Virtual Assistant with excellent communication skills to support patients during the earliest and most important parts of their care journey.
This role is ideal for someone who is exceptional in spoken and written English, organized under pressure, and comfortable working across phone calls, patient messaging, scheduling, documentation, and internal coordination. You will help ensure that patients are contacted quickly, prepared clearly, routed correctly, and supported warmly before their first visit.
Excellent communication skills are a must. You will be speaking and writing with patients every day, often when they are confused, anxious, delayed, frustrated, or missing key next steps. The right person can explain things clearly, warmly, and accurately in English while keeping patients calm and moving forward.
We strongly prefer candidates with pharmacy, medical, nursing, behavioral health, or other healthcare licensure or formal clinical training outside the United States. This is a non-clinical role, and you will not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. However, clinical fluency is a major advantage because you will help patients understand logistics, prepare for appointments, gather documentation, and route sensitive issues to the appropriate clinical team.
A major focus of this role may include supporting patients with ADHD-related intake needs. You should be comfortable learning our protocols, understanding documentation requirements, coordinating next steps, and helping patients feel prepared while staying firmly within a non-clinical scope.
