What are the qualifications i need to become a dental patients coordinator?
Answers:
NO ACTUAL FORMAL QUALIFICATIONS. YOU NEED A GOOD PERSONALITY AND VERY GOOD VERBAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS. YOU MUST BE A GOOD PROBLEM SOLVER AND BE ABLE TO DELEGATE WELL. YOUR JOB IS TO KEEP THE FLOW OF PATIENTS GOING AND TO ATTEND TO ANY PROBLEMS IN THE PRACTICE. YOU MUST ALSO HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE IN THE PAYMENT OF ACCOUNTS. MOST DENTISTS HIRE AND YOU LEARN SKILLS IN HOUSE..IE YOU MUST BE A VERY QUICK LEARNER.
It largely depends on the office and the distribution of other responsibilities. Will you be part of a front office team, or flying solo?
In general, a patient coordinator should have excellent verbal and written skills. They should be able to listen and "read between the lines" when communicating with patients. The ability to remain calm under stress and not take things personally are vital. Maturity and reliability are also important.
At least high school education with some additional education or relevant experience with emphasis on math and computers.
Some coordinators are also managers and must deal with staffing issues, HR questions, payroll and benefits, resolving disputes.
Hope this helps.
