Guest
My name is Jill Kazimore and I am currently a furloughed COTA/L at a SNF. I am looking for non-clinical work while I take the CPC online class through AAPC. I hope to keep my clinical work as a COTA/L but I could do prn if I find something that fits. I have experience in healthcare, ie: administrative assistant, unit clerk as well as transcription and clinical work as a COTA. I also can get around the computer, ie: word, excel, powerpoint-mostly basic. I am very motivated. I appreciate this thread and the networking that is available here.
Thank you,
Jill
