Job description

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Medical Assistant to support the practice onsite. The schedule for this position will consist of 5, 8-hour shifts Monday through Friday. The operating hours of the practice are Monday-Friday 7:00am to 5:30pm, so schedules are staggered accordingly.
Our clinical staff support two providers and an average visit volume of 35 patients per day in our practice. Teamwork is the foundation for successful day-to-day operations.
As true partners to our nurses and providers, our Medical Assistants get the opportunity to work autonomously to the top of their education/certification while also functioning as part of the collaborative team. They will rotate supporting both of our providers, as this kind of approach will provide the MAs with an opportunity to collaborate, develop skills, gain exposure to different styles, and expand clinical knowledge!
Responsibilities include:
Ensuring efficient patient flow through the office
Assisting during office visits (rooming, examinations, immunizations, phlebotomy, point of care testing, immunizations, procedures, and treatments as directed)
Performing clinically appropriate tasks related to patient panel management (phone calls, test results, prescription refill, coordination of care, etc.)
Maintaining neat, clean, and safe patient care areas
Performing the functions of a front desk representative during times when the office is not as busy from a clinical perspective and as directed/assigned.
Interacting with patients and their families in a professional, friendly manner consistent with their needs.
We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned practices and locations; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments in the WHP system when appropriate and needed during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances for cross-coverage purposes and to ensure adequate coverage and support.

Required:

• High School diploma/GED

• Either BLS or Annual Manikin training including CPR and AED after 6 months of hire

Strongly Preferred:

• Medical Assistant Course or diploma program or a minimum of 1-year professional experience

• National MA Certification via AAMA, AMT, NHA, or NCCT
