What I do at internal medicine is basically rooming patients for providers. I get patient vital signs such as height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and temperature. I also review their medical history, surgical history, social history, and their sexual history.

On a typical rooming procedure, what happens is that I call out the patient's name from the lobby and usher them back to their room to take their vital signs and history. I typically ask what the reason of their visit is (and sometimes they change). After which, I let the provider know that their patient is ready to be seen by them.

In the clinic where I work at, we see new patients, return patients, and procedural patients (e.g. those getting an intrauterine device or IUD, or a colposcopy). I also administer medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. I also give vaccines to patients such as the flu shot, hepatitis A and B shots, TB tests, HPV vaccines, and the likes. Moreover, I also do EKGs and PFTs, as well as bladder scans, ear lavages, and orthostatic vital signs.
