Medical practice management is a relatively new field. Long ago managers were not used in medicine. Dermatologists generally worked as independent entities, running their practices as they deemed best.

Dermatologists have changed how they worked. Medical aids complicate the delivery of health care. Paperwork became a huge part of the job and dermatologists increasingly found themselves spending more time on filling out forms than on actual patient care.

Moreover, many dermatologists found themselves bewildered by the processes and policies. Medical schools did not provide any training in these matters and most doctors were ill-equipped to take them on.

More and more medical practitioners began hiring someone to handle these responsibilities so they could get back to doing what they were trained to do.

Over time the role has grown and expanded to take on all aspects of running a medical practice (outside of treating patients) to become what we know of today as medical practice management.

A medical receptionist is an integral part of a high functioning healthcare team. Doctors, nurses, and other medical and administrative staff members rely on the medical receptionist to create a friendly, welcoming and well-organized front office for patients and to facilitate their flow through the facility.

The daily rhythm of work as a medical receptionist can be summed up in one word – busy! These professionals traditionally perform their duties from a prominently located desk, where they can easily interact with patients, staff, pharmaceutical reps, vendors and others. They are responsible for maintaining a calm and efficient environment for fielding phone calls, answering patient questions, scheduling new and follow-up appointments, registering new patients and updating records.

A medical receptionist is the touchstone for both the staff and patients of a healthcare practice. These professionals are charged with expertly coordinating the day-to-day activities of dermatologists, nurses and patients to ensure a focus on compassionate care delivered on time.

Medical technologists perform a variety of tasks including everything from simple pre-marital blood tests, to more complex tests to uncover diseases such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and cancer.

Medical technologists analyze specimens of human blood and tissue under a microscope to look for bacteria, parasites, cancerous cells, or other microorganisms. They match blood for transfusions, check blood levels for chemicals, drugs, or other factors.

Additionally, medical technologists evaluate test results, develop and modify procedures, and establish and monitor registered nurses.

Although medical technologists do not often interact directly with patients, the work completed by medical technologists directly impacts patients’ lives.

Dermatologists rely on the information provided by medical technologists to determine the diagnosis and treatment of their patients.
