Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, risk assessment tools, and sometimes telehealth platforms is typically required. Strong communication, attention to detail, and the ability to educate patients on health risks are essential soft skills. These competencies enable accurate health evaluations, informed patient guidance, and effective care planning to improve patient outcomes.
