Medical Assistant

About the Role

Bring hands-on clinical support directly to patients while working alongside providers to deliver high-quality, personalized care in the field. As a Medical Assistant with Physician Services, you'll perform routine clinical procedures, obtain vital signs and diagnostic information, prepare laboratory specimens, administer approved injections, and help ensure providers have the information and resources needed for each patient visit. You'll also help patients understand their care by clearly and compassionately explaining procedures, medications, and provider instructions while maintaining a safe and comfortable care environment.

This role is ideal for a dependable, patient-focused Medical Assistant who enjoys variety, independence, and being part of a mobile care team. You'll prepare for daily visits by reviewing electronic medical records, maintaining clinical supplies and equipment, securing necessary documentation, and ensuring the vehicle and materials used in the field are ready for patient care. When supporting the office, you'll assist with phones, patient documentation, new patient materials, and other administrative needs. Through your clinical skills, organization, and compassionate communication, you'll help create a seamless experience for both patients and providers while supporting exceptional care wherever our patients call home.
