Pros

Schedule Most patients are very appreciative of your work

Cons

Low pay for the amount of effort you have to put forth daily . There is constantly equipment not working causing multiple extra steps to complete tasks. Constant nagging from management for extra meetings and are not flexible when scheduling mandatory classes When patients are verbally aggressive they are extremely hands off . Standard of care is not the same depending on who is working causing patients to question care. You will provide private patient care in open areas with no regard for hippa. If you express to management you’re uncomfortable with this you are told “ that’s just how it is “

Pros

Great organization to grow professionally in healthcare operations. Strong focus on patient care, quality, innovation, and leadership development. I’ve gained valuable experience in physician support, operations, workflow improvement, and cross-functional collaboration while working with talented teams and leaders.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with high expectations and increasing responsibilities. At times, leadership roles can feel under-titled compared to the level of operational work being performed. Work-life balance can also be challenging during staffing shortages, major initiatives, or clinic transitions.
