Job Description

Medical Assistant — Gupta Medical Center | San Jacinto, CA

Small, established family practice in San Jacinto is hiring a Certified Medical Assistant who thrives on variety, jumps in wherever the team needs help, and takes pride in getting things right for our patients.

About Us
Gupta Medical Center (Ramona Medical Clinic / Patient First Physicians Group) is a family-run primary care practice serving the Hemet–San Jacinto community for over 35 years. We take care of adults across a diverse, predominantly bilingual patient population, and we run a supportive, close-knit team where every person's contribution matters.

What We're Looking For
We are hiring for flexibility and attitude first, skills second. In a practice our size, roles blur — the day you thought you were rooming patients might turn into a day of front-desk coverage, and the best members of our team see that as an opportunity, not a problem.

You are a strong fit if you:

• Are a genuine team player — you notice when a teammate is drowning and jump in without being asked
• Are flexible across roles — comfortable rotating between back-office clinical work, front desk, medical records, phones, and administrative tasks depending on the day's needs
• Take ownership — if something needs to be done, you don't wait to be told
• Communicate well — with patients, providers, and coworkers, in person and by phone
• Stay calm under pressure — high-volume days don't rattle you
• Have a growth mindset — willing to learn new areas of the clinic and take on responsibilities beyond the job description

What has NOT worked for us in the past: team members who see their role as narrowly defined and push back when asked to cover another area. This is a small practice — flexibility isn't optional, it's the job.

Position Summary
Full-time Medical Assistant supporting our provider team in a busy outpatient primary care setting. You will rotate across:

• Back office / clinical: rooming patients, vitals, chief complaints, injections/vaccines, EKGs, phlebotomy, assisting with in-office procedures, and other standard MA duties within your certification and training
• Front office / admin: patient check-in/out, scheduling, phone coverage, insurance verification, prior authorizations, referral coordination, and medical records
• Team backup: stepping into whichever area needs support on any given day

Standard clinical duties fall within the scope of your MA certification — we will train you on our workflows, EMR (eClinicalWorks), and specific practice protocols.

Requirements

• Certified Medical Assistant (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or NCMA) — active certification required
• Current BLS/CPR certification (or willing to obtain before start)
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Comfortable with electronic medical records (eClinicalWorks experience is a plus, not required)
• Reliable transportation to San Jacinto
• Able to work Monday–Friday, standard clinic hours (typically 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM)

Strongly Preferred

• Bilingual English/Spanish — a significant portion of our patient population is Spanish-speaking
• Prior experience in primary care, family medicine, or internal medicine
• Familiarity with prior authorizations and referral workflows
• Phlebotomy experience

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly rate (based on experience and certifications)
• Health benefits
• Paid time off
• A stable, family-owned practice with 35+ years in the community
• A small, supportive team that treats each other well
• Real career development — we invest in team members who invest in us
