We are a staffing firm recruiting an experienced Virtual Patient Coordinator & eClinicalWorks Specialist on behalf of a thriving, private cash-based medical wellness and weight management clinic located in Florida.

Healthcare Admin Experience: At least 2–3 years of experience as a Medical Receptionist, Patient Care Coordinator, or Virtual Medical Assistant (private practice, functional medicine, or cash-pay clinic experience is a major plus).
