Medical Receptionist
Medical Receptionists are responsible for greeting patients as they enter the admitting ward of a hospital or clinic. They also direct patients to appropriate parties, give direction, provide clerical support to the admitting staff, answer telephone calls, and direct callers to the appropriate department or unit.
Whether in a private office or the public sector, you can make helping others a part of your career. The medical field has growth potential and so can you.
