Alliance for Smiles is one of our corporate members and will conduct a medical mission in Gazipur, Bangladesh from February 12 to 23, 2024. Our Club Foundation is a major funder for this trip, and we would love to send someone from our Club to participate!
For this mission, there is an opening for a record keeper. Here is a summary of the duties. The record keeper registers patients at opening clinic; enters medical information into a computer database; creates simple spreadsheets; keeps track of patient info and surgery schedules; makes sure that all forms are filled in accurately by the medical team; and performs various other clerical tasks. Candidate must be well organized and very computer literate.
If you are interested, please contact Paul Vazquez.
