Executive Assistant
Executive assistants typically work closely with one executive or small upper-level management team in a hospital, clinic, or other healthcare facility. Like an administrative assistant, executive assistants are responsible for a variety of administrative tasks. However, the education, skills, and experience required to be an executive assistant are typically narrower to fit specialized day-to-day tasks. These healthcare professionals work with highly sensitive information and are entrusted to manage critical tasks for a medical center’s leadership.
