You’ll manage documentation in electronic medical records, participate in post-procedure care, and contribute to equipment readiness, restocking, and supply management. The role also emphasizes quality improvement and adherence to best practices, with opportunities to participate in protocol development or process optimization. The ideal candidate is adaptable, communicates clearly with the team, and demonstrates a strong commitment to patient safety and continuous learning.
