The Pre-Op Clinic/Surgical Visiting Specialist Clinic (VSC) Supervisor oversees all aspects of clinic and staff scheduling to meet facility and patient needs. The Supervisor is responsible for directing staff, coordinating timely pre-op patient education, and scheduling pre-anesthetic appointments, including telehealth visits.

The Supervisor will lead the coordination of general surgery referrals and triaging. This role requires close collaboration with the General Surgeons' office to guarantee a streamlined process and maintain the integrity of all patient documentation. Additionally, the supervisor will coordinate the provision of support for the VSC. The supervisor will identify and organize as required.
