Your medical receptionist is generally the first person that your patients will encounter at your practice. This course can enable your receptionist to be the best possible representation of your business.
In addition to greeting patients, a medical receptionist performs tasks that contribute to the smooth running of your medical practice. Because this role is such a crucial function, MediSwitch knows how critical this role is to your business operations. That’s why we have developed a training course specifically to empower and enable medical receptionists.
