Summary of Job Duties: The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) works under the direct supervision of licensed nurses or medical providers to administer direct patient care- either in person or through telehealth- and assist with the flow of patients in the Primary Care Clinic. This position will cross-train to provide coverage in the GYN/women\'s clinic. The job duties for this position include but are not limited to obtaining patient history, vitals and other screening procedures to prepare patients for exams and procedures; assisting medical providers; obtaining specimens/performing point of care laboratory tests; and other duties as assigned.
