Summary of Job Duties:

The Nurse Team Lead – Women's/GYN Clinic is responsible for staff supervision and staffing of the GYN/Women's Clinic. This includes training new staff on clinic policy and procedure and overseeing the GYN/Women's Clinic Medical Assistants/CNAs to ensure that the clinic functions smoothly on a day-to-day basis. The lead also manages caseloads, contacts patients, performs telephone triage, manages records, evaluates and prepares patients for diagnostic screening, and other duties as needed.

This position holds significant responsibility as a “remote essential” role. In challenging situations such as inclement weather or emergencies, when the Pat Walker Health Center or campus needs to close, our dedicated team of medical professionals will be on standby to serve our campus community’s needs through telehealth if deemed appropriate for the patient’s complaint.

The decision to conduct telehealth evaluations will depend on various factors, including the nature of the medical issue (in compliance with Arkansas State Medical Board regulations), patient preference, and the availability of resources. Our primary goal is to ensure that the UA community has access to quality healthcare even during unexpected closures.

To be fully prepared for such events, all staff members must take their UA issued laptops home nightly during the work week and each weekend. This way, they can readily assist with patient access and telehealth services if the medical clinics are unexpectedly closed during the following business day. By functioning cohesively as a team, our medical units will ensure that adequate medical care remains accessible to our UA community with each team member sharing this responsibility equally.

Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others.
