  • Must be able to recognize and respond appropriately to urgent/emergent situations per protocols.
  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with physicians, staff, and management.
  • Books surgeries based on physician volume maintaining appropriate standard turn-around times.
  • Identifies scheduling barriers and implements solutions to improve scheduling results based on predetermined goals.
  • Follow established surgery center/hospital precautions and procedures in the performance of all job duties to ensure a safe work environment.
