Job Summary
This position is a unique split-role opportunity that provides dedicated support to the same physician across two distinct practice environments. The physician serves both as a retinal specialist in a traditional clinical practice and as a provider within the Inherited Retinal Disorders Service, a specialized research-focused clinic. As a result, this role combines the responsibilities of a fast-paced clinical practice support position with the high-touch, patient-centered coordination required in a specialized inherited disease program.
Success in this role requires flexibility, strong organizational skills, and the ability to quickly adjust priorities while building meaningful relationships with patients and families.
0.5 FTE: Retina Practice Support
Provides administrative support for a physician's retina practice, including:
-Answering and managing telephone calls
-Scheduling, rescheduling, and coordinating patient appointments
-Scheduling surgical procedures
-Preparing for clinic sessions and completing post-clinic follow-up activities
-Supporting a higher-volume, fast-paced retina clinic that operates several times per month
-Providing additional support during physician on-call weeks, when priorities and workload can shift quickly
This portion of the role requires strong organizational skills, flexibility, multitasking, and the ability to adapt to changing priorities in a busy clinical environment.
