Work History
Clinical Assistant
Central Clinic 24-hour
12.2025 - Current
During my time as a clinic assistant at Central 24-hour Clinic, I was actively involved in both administrative and patient facing responsibilities. I assisted with patient registration, appointment scheduling, and the organization of medical records, ensuring that all information was handled with accuracy and confidentiality. In addition, I prepared consultation rooms ahead of visits and supported the healthcare team in maintaining smooth clinic operations. A key part of my role included preparing and dispensing prescribed medications to patients under the supervision of licensed staff, while carefully following protocols to ensure safety and compliance. I also guided patients through basic procedures, explained instructions related to their medications, and directed them to the appropriate services when needed. This experience allowed me to develop strong communication and organizational skills, as well as a deeper understanding of patient care and the importance of precision in clinical practice
