Help us improve lives and build a workplace people enjoy.

AlliedPath Medical Weight Loss is a local, family-owned and operated medical practice offering personalized medical weight-management care and disability examinations for VA patients. Our Medical Assistant supports both services through clinical and front-office responsibilities.

We are looking for a dependable, compassionate Medical Assistant who enjoys helping patients and wants to contribute to a small, growing practice. Experience is preferred, but we also welcome candidates with less experience who are ready to learn and take pride in doing their work well.

Why join AlliedPath

Our owners are onsite every day and work alongside the team. You will work directly with the people who lead the practice, with opportunities to ask questions, share ideas, and help improve how we serve patients.

We want AlliedPath to be a happy, welcoming workplace where people treat one another with courtesy and respect. We value thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and employees who speak up when something could be improved. Your perspective matters, and we want you to feel comfortable contributing it.

We provide onsite training in our systems and processes to help you become comfortable and confident in your role.

Your role

Your primary responsibility is supporting patients and clinicians throughout patient visits. Front-office administrative work is handled during periods when there are no patients.

You will help patients feel welcome, keep visits organized, and support accurate clinical testing and documentation across both of our service lines.

What you will do

• Support patient visits: Welcome and room patients, obtain vital signs and measurements, collect medical-history and medication updates, and prepare patients for their appointments.
• Perform clinical testing: Operate our seca body-composition equipment, acquire EKG tracings, and perform approved in-office specimen testing after appropriate training and under clinician direction.
• Support lung-function testing: Assist with patient preparation, equipment setup, cleaning, and documentation.
• Assist with clinical documentation and scribing: Accurately document information communicated during visits and prepare notes for clinician review and signature.
• Help patients through their appointments: Assist with check-in and check-out, update demographic and insurance information, collect payments, and help patients understand their next steps.
• Maintain accurate patient records: Prepare charts, organize incoming documents, manage assigned messages, and promptly bring clinical questions or concerns to the clinician.
• Support care coordination and front-office operations: During periods without patients, help answer calls, schedule appointments, verify insurance, and assist with prior authorizations, pharmacy communications, referrals, and outstanding records or laboratory results.
• Reinforce patient instructions: Share clinician-approved educational materials and assist with patient-portal access.
• Keep the practice ready for care: Clean and restock rooms, maintain supplies, monitor expiration dates, and follow privacy, infection-prevention, and equipment-care procedures.
• Contribute to the team: Communicate respectfully, follow through on responsibilities, ask for help when needed, and share ideas for improving the patient and employee experience.

What we are looking for

• Medical-assistant training or relevant experience in an outpatient medical setting. Prior experience is preferred, but we will consider candidates with less experience.
• A courteous, compassionate approach to patients, families, and coworkers.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and dependable follow-through.
• Comfort using computers and a willingness to learn our electronic health records and practice systems.
• Sound judgment about when a question or concern needs the clinician’s attention.
• A willingness to learn, ask questions, receive feedback, and contribute ideas.

Medical-assistant certification and current BLS/CPR certification are preferred. Experience with EKGs, specimen testing, scribing, prior authorizations, or medical weight management is helpful.

Compensation and benefits

Pay is based on relevant experience, qualifications, and demonstrated skills. We will discuss compensation early in the interview process so you can decide whether the opportunity meets your needs.

We offer paid time off and paid holidays for eligible employees. We plan to add other benefits as the practice grows; specific offerings and timing have not yet been finalized.

Let’s get to know each other

We want you to feel comfortable interviewing us, too. You will have an opportunity to meet the owners, learn about the day-to-day work, and ask questions about our expectations, training, and workplace. We want the role to be a good fit for you as well as for AlliedPath.
