Training Records Specialist Jobs in Rio Rancho, NM

Medical Records Specialist

Optimum Human + Southwest Women's Oncology | Albuquerque, New Mexico

Why This Role Matters

Behind every clinical decision is a record-and that record needs to be accurate, complete, and accessible the moment it's needed.

When a provider needs a patient's history before a critical appointment. When a referral needs to move quickly. When a records request comes in and the clock is ticking on compliance. The Medical Records Specialist is the person who makes sure the information is there-right, on time, every time.

This work doesn't happen in the spotlight, but it is foundational to everything else this organization does. At Optimum and Southwest Women's Oncology, we hold records management to the same standard as clinical care-because accuracy here protects patients everywhere else. We hire for attitude and aptitude above all else. Credentials matter, but who you are and how you grow matter more.

Who We Are

Southwest Women's Oncology (SWWO) is New Mexico's leading gynecologic oncology practice, delivering advanced cancer care with skill, courage, and compassion.

Optimum Human and Optimum Infusion extend that mission into performance medicine, infusion services, longevity, recovery, hormone optimization, medical weight loss, peptide therapies, hyperbaric medicine, aesthetics, and human performance.

Together, we operate as a single integrated platform committed to one mission:

To deliver new possibilities in medical care, human performance, and health by uniting passion, knowledge, and precision into something greater than the sum of its parts.
