Why this role matters

A strong day in this role looks like

• Phones are answered quickly and messages are complete enough for the team to act on.
• Patients feel welcomed and know where to go next.
• The schedule is updated accurately when appointment changes happen.
• The clinical team receives clear information instead of scattered notes.

Required Qualifications

• Comfortable using computers, phones, calendars, email, and basic office software.
• Strong communication, patience, confidentiality, and attention to detail.
• Ability to stay organized when several patients or calls need help at the same time.

Preferred Strengths

• Experience with EHR or practice-management systems.
• Bilingual language skills helpful for Los Angeles-area patient communication.
• Familiarity with insurance cards, referrals, appointment reminders, and medical forms.

Skills that help you stand out

Work environment

This is an in-person medical-office position supporting the NPMD clinic team and older adults, families, and patients in the Los Angeles area. The right person is dependable, calm under pressure, respectful with patients, and comfortable switching between front-office, back-office, and patient-support tasks when the day requires it.
