About Us

One Medical is a primary care solution challenging the industry status quo by making quality care more affordable, accessible and enjoyable. But this isn't your average doctor's office. We're on a mission to transform healthcare, which means improving the experience for everyone involved - from patients and providers to employers and health networks. Our seamless in-office and 24/7 virtual care services, on-site labs, and programs for preventive care, chronic care management, common illnesses and mental health concerns have been delighting people for the past fifteen years.

In February 2023 we marked a milestone when One Medical joined Amazon. Together, we look to deliver exceptional health care to more consumers, employers, care team members, and health networks to achieve better health outcomes. As we continue to grow and seek to impact more lives, we're building a diverse, driven and empathetic team, while working hard to cultivate an environment where everyone can thrive.

• Capture relevant information about the patient's health and healthcare experience while rooming patients, taking vitals, administering point-of-care testing, and performing standard age and condition-appropriate screening assessments
• Assist with the coordination of post-visit care by scheduling appointments with specialists, coordinating referrals, and sharing information to the patient's internal and external care team
• Collaborate with providers to monitor the health of a panel of patients and determine if they are up to date on preventive measures
• Participate in the daily operations of a primary care practice, such as answering incoming phone calls, responding to emails, assisting with front desk inquiries, and ensuring the general upkeep of the clinical space
• Assist in providing patient education on chronic disease management and coach patients using an action-planning model based on motivational interviewing techniques
• Provide anticipatory preventive guidance to families with children by establishing healing relationships with members and families

These responsibilities are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by personnel assigned to this job classification.  They are not to be construed as an exhaustive list of job duties performed by personnel in this classification.  Other job related duties may be assigned by management.
