Job description

Description:

• This position is open to Medical Assistants and FMGs
• We refer to our medical assistants as "Clinical Specialists" (CS's), because they are not "assistants".
• All new CSs must Qualify at their respective positions in order to work at a high level, under supervision.
• There are four different roles for our Clinical Specialists. There is the CS1 (Pre- and Post-Procedure), CS2 (Patient Consults), CS3 (First Assistant to Physician Proceduralist) and CS4 (Procedure Room Circulator). Each CS is a valuable member of the procedure team.
• All CSs work under Physician supervision.
• 100% outpatient position -- no hospital work, no call.
• May be required to train at other clinical positions in the clinic, to help cross-cover as needed.
• We offer a comprehensive training program

CS1 Responsibilities

• The CS1s are responsible for patient pre-procedure prep, including: verifying the Medical Hx, medications, placing IV’s, obtaining baseline vitals and pedal pulses, preparing the groin for access, and meticulously documenting all information in our EMR.
• Responsible for recovering the patient post-procedure, including: monitoring vital signs and access site, assuring hemostasis, obtaining pulses, discharging the patient home, again documenting all information meticulously in our EMR, and assessing inventory to verify that clinical supplies related to the procedures are at par levels.
• The CS1 position requires a strong grasp of medical knowledge, confidence, attention to detail, equanimity (cool under pressure), and excellent communication and customer service skills to interact with both patients and family.
• Must be able to work in cooperation with the rest of the Procedure Team including the Proceduralist Physician, CRNAs, and other Clinical Specialists.

CS2 Responsibilities:

• The CS2 is an integral part of the 3-person Consult Team. The other two Team Members consist of the NP and the US tech.
• A brief summary of how the consultation flow works: After the US tech sees the patients and performs the appropriate scans, the CS2 will begin the patient consultation that will consist of: Obtaining a detailed H&P, medication list, performing ABIs, taking vital signs, taking photos of any wounds, and completion of patient charting/documentation.
• After the patient interview has been completed, the CS2 must relay all information in a detailed, but brief manner to the NP that will further highlight if the patient is overall a possible candidate to proceed with a PAD procedure/intervention.
• Once the patient is on board with the procedure and all questions have been answered, the CS2 will proceed with collecting necessary blood specimen via venipuncture for further pre-procedural testing.
• It is important to be a well rounded customer-service-driven individual with the ability to maintain attention to details in a fast-paced environment to avoid errors and provide the best possible patient experience.

CS3 Responsibilities:

• First Assistant/Surgical Assistant
• This position requires physical endurance... you will be on your feet, standing, walking, moving patients, cleaning and turning over the Procedure Room, for 90%+ of your shift. Additionally, CS3s and CS4s must wear lead vests, which add 10-15 lbs of additional weight.
• You will set out necessary instruments, keep a sterile environment at all times and position the patient on the operating table and arrange sterile drapes ensuring the surgical field is exposed. You will also be handing instruments to the Proceduralist.
• So it is important you are good with your hands and have great attention to detail. You must be able to work well with the Proceduralist which is the Physician performing the procedure.

CS4 Responsibilities:

• The CS4 is the circulator and acts as a leader when it comes to procedures.
• They are responsible for making sure the flow during procedures are running smoothly which includes supervising the CS3 and CS1 (They are not your direct reports you are just supervising that they follow the clinical guidelines because you have more clinical knowledge.)
• Duties that you can expect are: making sure the patient has followed all pre-procedure guidelines, going over the patient chart and labs, dispensing medication for the patient by mouth or through their IV, documenting the procedure, and building the report.
• You also document what supplies were used during the procedure.
• You must be prepared for patient complications and how to handle those.
• This position requires a high level of medical experience.

Requirements:

• Travel between our Greater Houston facilities will be required
• Ideal candidates should have experience with arterial/vascular work
• Spanish fluency
• A+ customer service-oriented attitude, charisma, and excellent bedside manner.
• 4-6 weeks training period, some travel may be required for this. This, along with our faster pace and higher performance standards is why we pay so much more than other comparable jobs
• Meticulous documentation in our EMR is required, so strong English language skills are important.
• Our top performers earn at the higher end of the pay scale
• Tech savviness
• Drug screens and background check
• Maturity, good judgment, and a proactive mind, anticipate and preempt problems (rather than simply react to them)
• Spirit of continuous improvement -- strive to grow, improve, and learn... both professionally and personally, every single day, and to help the Company do the same
• All employees are expected to perform as an integral part of the PADS team, and to provide supplemental support as requested, required, or assigned.
