- Greeting patients, taking vital signs and medical histories and preparing them for treatment.
- Sterilizing instruments and maintaining inventory; ensuring the mobile operatory meets infectioncontrol standards.

- Disassembling and securing equipment after clinics; documenting supplies used and maintenance needed.
