It takes a highly organized and efficient professional to manage day-to-day operations in military medical facilities. As a Patient Administration Specialist for the Army National Guard, you will supervise and perform administrative duties to maintain accurate records and manage hospital operations, so patients can receive proper care.

In this role, your responsibilities will include compiling data for reports, scheduling office visits, and keeping patient records organized and up to date.

• Compile data and prepare required statistical reports
• Initiate correspondence pertaining to medical records, medical board proceedings, line of duty investigations, and other records and reports pertaining to patient administration

With additional study, you may qualify for certification with the American Medical Technologists as a registered medical assistant.
