What This Role Is

Skills Breakdown: Must-Have vs. Helpful Context
This is an explicitly entry-level designation (PCC-I), so the hard requirements are intentionally minimal — a high school diploma and the soft skills to handle a busy front office. The non-negotiables are strong communication, multitasking across computer systems, and the discipline to work independently without micromanagement. There are no stated nice-to-haves in this posting. Candidates with prior customer service, medical reception, or administrative backgrounds will find the day-one learning curve lower, since the role includes hands-on training for clinic software (Raintree) from the start.
