Assistant

Company: Specialized Gastroenterology Practice

Location: Remote (Latin America / South America – Fixed Location Required)

Position Type: Part-time to Full-time (Starting at 30 hours/week)

I. Role Overview

We are seeking a highly dedicated and detail-oriented Virtual Medical Scribe and Assistant to

support a fast-paced Gastroenterology practice in the United States. This role is critical in

ensuring clinical excellence by providing real-time scribing, comprehensive pre-charting, and

essential administrative support.

The ideal candidate will be a licensed nurse with a strong clinical background and a stable,

high-performance home office setup.

II. About the Clinic and Physician

Specialization: Gastroenterology.

care.

Culture: Fast-moving and professional. The practice relies solely on its reputation for

excellence.

III. Key Responsibilities & Tasks

Pre-Charting: Reviewing patient schedules in advance to prepare charts; pulling lab

results, imaging reports, and prior consultation notes into the EMR so the physician is

prepared before each visit.

Real-Time Medical Scribing: Accompanying the doctor virtually during patient visits to

record clinical notes and documentation accurately.

Patient Coordination: Handling incoming calls and scheduling appointments during

non-scribing hours.

active practice to ensure up-to-date knowledge.

Language Proficiency: Must be Bilingual (English and Spanish).

Fixed Working Location: The candidate must work from one specific, consistent

location only. Epic EMR access is tied to a verified IP address; changing locations or IP

addresses causes significant security disruptions and requires hours of technical

modification to restore access.

Hardware: Minimum 8 GB RAM.

without 32 GB RAM.
