The Vision

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Medical Assistant to work onsite Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm. The home location will be 600 Primrose Street in Haverhill, MA. We do our best to keep all employees in their assigned departments; however, you may also be asked to float to other departments or other sites in the Merrimack Valley/Tuscan area during orientation (for training/precepting purposes) or during times of staffing shortages/other extenuating circumstances (for cross-coverage purposes).

The Medical Assistant will support the following specialties:

•       Internal Medicine: physical examinations, routine health screenings, and preventative care for adults
•       Bridge Clinic: rapid access to treatment for addiction and substance use disorders
•       Infection Disease: identification and treatment of infections that arise from exposure to infectious diseases

We believe in meeting our patients where they are and providing multiple pathways. It is incredibly important to us that our staff members understand this and strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need. Due to the nature of our clinic, we provide high-touch, ongoing care and support to our patients, so there is a unique opportunity to make meaningful connections with patients.

Are you ready to join our team?

Role Overview

Dedicated to clinical support as true partners to our providers, our Medical Assistants are trained to work autonomously to the top of their education/certification while also functioning as part of the multidisciplinary care team. While we ideally aim to have our clinical support staff members working 1:1 with an assigned provider, they do cross-cover, rotate, and collaborate with various providers to develop their skills, expose them to different styles, and expand their clinical knowledge.

Responsibilities include:

• Ensuring efficient patient flow through the office (each provider sees 14-16 patients per day, so Medical Assistants can expect to see between 20-30 patients per day)
• Assisting during office visits (rooming, examinations, point of care testing, immunizations, procedures, and treatments as directed)
• Performing clinically appropriate tasks related to panel management (Scheduling/coordination of patient appointments, general patient guidance, prior authorizations, test results, prescription refills, coordination of care, etc.)
• Maintaining neat, clean, and safe patient care areas
• Interacting with patients and their families in a professional, friendly manner consistent with their needs
• Other duties as directed by leadership

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent required.
• Graduate of an accredited Medical Assistant training program is strongly preferred.
• Medical Assistant experience strongly preferred.
• National Medical Assistant certification with one of the following organizations preferred:
• American Assoc. of Medical Assistants (AAMA) - Credential: CMA
• American Medical Technologists (AMT) - Credential: RMA
• National Healthcare Association (NHA) - Credential: CCMA
• National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT) - Credential: NCMA

(Please Note: National Medical Assistant Certification will be required within six months of hire)
