Tell me your strengths that you can bring to this position?

During my time as a medical assistant I have learned how to multitasking without compromising the quality of my work. I would say that's one of my more notable strengths.

Describe a typical day at your Externship

First thing in the morning I would clean and prep all patient rooms. Some days I would be doing the front desk registering patients, checking insurances, answering phones, taking messages, scheduling appointments, and prep patients charts. Other days I would triage patients take vitals, draw blood, urine exams, fill out insurance claims, EKGS, pull out patient charts.

Tell me your weaknesses?

Honestly, I would say that public speaking is an area that I could work on. I tend to get nervous when asked to present to a large group of people. In small team meetings, I'm the first one to stand up and present. But put me in front of a big group and I can get flustered. I began working on it in Speech class presenting to about 30-35 kids.
