Health Unit Clerk Resume

Health unit clerks or health unit coordinators are the key links between patients and medical staff. Right from receiving patients, completing registration process, admittance and discharge of patients, these clerks work as a coordinator, secretary, and assist in the patient care. They are trained on the job to handle clerical and administrative duties of the hospital and clinic. They also work in a doctor's clinic and handle duties of receptionist, ordering supplies, answering telephone, and entering physician's prescription into the system.

As the duties are based on where the clerk is working, it is essential to be a multi-talented person. A job application must show knowledge of the administrative and clerical functions of a health care unit and experience in supporting patient care.
