Job Description

Mobile Medical Assistant / Clinical Assistant
Full-Time | Monday–Friday | No Weekends | East County San Diego
Comprehensive Medicine / California Mobile Physicians is seeking a full-time Mobile Medical Assistant / Clinical Assistant to join our growing house-call medical team.
This is not a typical medical assistant position.
Rather than spending the entire day in a medical office rooming one patient after another, you will work directly alongside an experienced medical provider caring for patients in their homes and assisted living communities throughout San Diego County.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys patient care, wants variety in their workday, and wants to develop strong real-world clinical skills.
A Unique Clinical Opportunity
Our Mobile Medical Assistants are an important part of the medical team and work closely with our physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, patients, families, facility nurses, administrators, home health agencies, and office staff.
You will typically spend the first portion of your day traveling with a provider to see patients in their homes and assisted living facilities. Depending on the day’s schedule, you may finish your workday at our Alpine office in East County San Diego, approximately 10–15 minutes east of El Cajon.
This position provides considerably more hands-on clinical exposure than a traditional office MA role.
Responsibilities May Include
●       Accompanying a physician, PA, or NP on mobile patient visits
●       Obtaining and documenting vital signs
●       Assisting with patient histories and medical charting
●       Phlebotomy and specimen collection
●       Administering injections and vaccinations, including flu shots, as permitted and trained
●       Assisting providers with wound care and dressing changes
●       Assisting with procedures such as joint injections and other bedside procedures
●       Preparing medical supplies and equipment for daily visits
●       Assisting with ordering laboratory tests, imaging, and other diagnostic studies
●       Confirming patient appointments and coordinating the daily schedule
●       Communicating with the medical office throughout the day
●       Communicating with patients and family members
●       Working directly with assisted living nurses, medication technicians, and administrators
●       Coordinating care with home health agencies and other healthcare professionals
●       Helping ensure provider orders and follow-up care are completed
Who We Are Looking For
Medical Assistant certification is not required.
We will consider candidates with appropriate healthcare experience, including:
●       Medical Assistants
●       EMTs
●       CNAs
●       Nursing students
●       Pre-PA or pre-med candidates
●       Other applicants with comparable hands-on healthcare experience
Phlebotomy experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right candidate. Additional clinical skills and procedures can also be taught.
We are looking for someone who is dependable, professional, comfortable communicating with patients and healthcare professionals, and genuinely interested in learning.
Because this is a mobile position, applicants must be comfortable traveling throughout the local area as part of the medical team.
Excellent Experience for Your Healthcare Career
This can be an exceptional position for someone considering a future career in healthcare.
Whether your long-term goal is to remain a Medical Assistant or eventually attend nursing school, PA school, or medical school, you will gain exposure to patient assessment, chronic disease management, procedures, wound care, medications, diagnostic testing, care coordination, and the day-to-day decision-making involved in practicing medicine.
You won’t simply take a blood pressure and move on to the next room.
You become part of the patient’s healthcare team.
Schedule
Full-Time
Approximately Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
No weekends
The workday generally begins with the mobile provider schedule and may conclude at our Alpine medical office.
Benefits
Full-time employees are eligible for our comprehensive benefits package, including:
●       80 hours of paid PTO
●       6 Paid holidays
●       Medical insurance
●       Dental insurance
●       Vision insurance
●       Life insurance
●       401(k) retirement plan
●       Paid training and opportunities to develop additional clinical skills
Location
Our main medical office is located in Alpine, California, approximately 10–15 minutes east of El Cajon.
The position involves traveling with our medical providers to patients’ homes and assisted living communities throughout the surrounding San Diego area.
Why This Position Is Different
If you are looking for a traditional medical assistant job where every day consists of bringing patients into exam rooms, taking vital signs, and repeating the process, this probably isn’t the position for you.
If you want to learn medicine, develop practical clinical skills, work directly alongside experienced medical providers, and become genuinely involved in patient care, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.
We are looking for someone who wants to become an important member of our mobile medical team and isn’t afraid to learn.

“We didn’t build this practice because house calls are nostalgic. We built it because too many patients were cycling through emergency rooms, hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and back home with no one truly coordinating their care. We believed there had to be a better way. We still do.”
