Job Description

About the Role

Preventive care only works if it actually happens — screenings get done, records get gathered, and nothing falls through the cracks before the patient ever sits down with their doctor. As our Clinical Medical Assistant – Value-Based Care, you'll be the person making that happen, working on-site within 1–2 independent primary care practices in Queens to strengthen pre-visit planning, preventive screening, and Annual Wellness Visit support.

This is a role built for someone who wants to grow. Whether you're an experienced MA or new to healthcare, if you're organized, curious, and eager to learn, you'll have real ownership and a clear path to developing new clinical skills from day one.

Our practices serve a significant Korean-speaking patient population, so Korean language proficiency is required for effective, comprehensive patient communication.
