This position is ideal for an MA comfortable working in a busy family practice while also supporting a medical weight-management program . We are looking for someone who can confidently move between routine primary care visits, sick visits, preventive care, injections, laboratory services, medication coordination, and weight-management patients.

Previous family practice experience is strongly preferred, and medical weight-management experience is highly desirable.

If you have experience with family medicine, primary care, GLP-1 programs, semaglutide, tirzepatide, injection clinics, weight-loss patients, or body-composition tracking , we especially want to hear from you.

What You'll Do

As a Medical Assistant at Get Well Clinic, you'll work closely with our providers and clinical team to support patients across family medicine, preventive care, acute care, and medical weight management .

Family Practice & Primary Care Responsibilities

Your responsibilities may include:

• Rooming patients and obtaining accurate vital signs

• Completing detailed patient intake, including medication reconciliation, allergies, medical history, and reason for visit

• Preparing patient charts before provider visits

• Assisting with annual physicals, well-child examinations, sports physicals, Medicare visits, follow-up visits, and sick visits
  
  
• Supporting visits for common primary care conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, allergies, minor infections, rashes, musculoskeletal complaints, and other outpatient concerns

• Preparing patients for procedures, examinations, and diagnostic testing

• Reviewing charts for outstanding labs, referrals, preventive services, and follow-up needs

• Assisting with specialist referrals and coordinating patient follow-up

• Communicating with pharmacies regarding prescriptions and medication questions under provider direction

• Assisting with medication prior authorizations and insurance documentation

• Returning patient calls and documenting communications accurately in the EMR

• Supporting prescription refill workflows and routing requests appropriately to the provider

• Providing professional patient education within the Medical Assistant scope of practice

• Obtaining and documenting weight, BMI, vital signs, and body-composition measurements
  
  
• Completing weight-management patient intake and preparing charts for provider review

• Tracking patient progress, medication doses, follow-up dates, and treatment milestones

• Supporting patients prescribed semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other provider-directed weight-management treatments
  
  
• Administering subcutaneous and intramuscular injections as ordered by the provider

• Administering GLP-1, vitamin B12, lipotropic, and other clinic injections as ordered

• Accurately documenting medication name, dose, route, administration site, date, and other required information

• Assisting with GLP-1 medication prior authorizations and pharmacy coordination

• Reinforcing provider-established treatment instructions and follow-up schedules

• Helping identify patients who are due or overdue for weight-management follow-up

• Maintaining accurate medication and injection documentation

• Providing a supportive and professional experience for patients throughout their weight-management journey

What We're Looking For

We are looking for an MA who is reliable, organized, professional, clinically confident, and genuinely enjoys working with patients .

The ideal candidate understands that working in family practice requires versatility. One patient may be coming in for a routine physical, the next for an acute illness, and the next for a GLP-1 weight-management follow-up.

You should be comfortable prioritizing tasks, communicating with the provider, documenting accurately, and keeping patients moving efficiently without making them feel rushed.

• Family medicine, family practice, primary care, or urgent care experience strongly preferred

You also understand that excellent healthcare requires more than completing clinical tasks. Patients should feel welcomed, respected, informed, and cared for from the moment they enter the clinic.

We especially want to hear from candidates who bring experience in both family practice and medical weight management .

Experience with semaglutide, tirzepatide, GLP-1 patients, weight-management programs, injections, phlebotomy, vaccines, EKGs, and primary care workflows will make you a particularly strong candidate.
