Healthcare Administration Careers in the Springfield Area

Common roles

  • Patient service representative
  • Medical receptionist
  • Scheduling coordinator
  • Medical records clerk

Skills employers mention most

Accuracy with patient information, comfort with electronic health record systems, an understanding of privacy rules, clear communication and a calm, friendly manner on the phone.
