What kind of EC is this?

I want to know what to call this EC. My duties include checking patients in, calling patients to remind them about their appointments/confirm appointments, registering new patients, taking vitals, and doing urinalysis tests. I also help patients make appointments and write down reasons why they came to see the Physician. I do this all in a private Clinic. What would you call this?

Sounds like things a medical assistant would do. What does your employer call your position? There has to be a name for it. If nothing else I would call it something like "Clinic Assistant" or something. It's probably not a huge deal either way, just semantics. As far as the category goes, I would say it's healthcare employment/clinical experience.

He doesn't really have a title for it. I thought it would be a Medical Scribe, but I'm not entirely sure. I don't get paid for it.

You're almost like a triage nurse in my opinion.
