Position Overview

Are you a compassionate, adaptable Medical Assistant looking to make a true, measurable impact on your community’s senior population? We are a rapidly growing primary care organization dedicated to revolutionizing senior health through a Value-Based Care Model.

Unlike high-volume traditional clinics, we allot 45 minutes per patient appointment. This model empowers our clinical teams to move past rushed charts, actively close care gaps, and build deeply meaningful, long-term relationships with patients aged 60 and older. Operating out of accessible, modern retail-style neighborhood clinics rather than massive medical plazas, we offer a tight-knit, collaborative environment where your voice and care matter.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

As a core member of a lean, collaborative care team, you will work closely alongside a primary care physician to provide comprehensive clinical and administrative support.

• Patient Intake & Rooming: Welcome senior members, conduct patient interviews, document thorough medical histories, and accurately measure/record vital signs.

• Clinical Screenings & Procedures: Perform routine screenings, EKGs, diabetic retinopathy screenings (training provided), and administer injections.

• Strong Phlebotomy Focus: Perform blood draws and basic laboratory processing efficiently and comfortably.

• Care Gap & Quality Management: Assist with clinical quality measures, perform routine screenings (such as PHQ-9 depression screenings), and close Focus on Care Gaps (FOCS).

• Relationship-Driven Communication: Critically listen and engage with patients, reporting all relevant physical and emotional findings directly to the Primary Care Provider (PCP).

• First Aid & Treatments: Change patient dressings, apply bandages, remove sutures, and execute other first-aid procedures as directed.

• Administrative Duties: Process patient phone messages, handle return calls, relay accurate information between patients and physicians, and process urgent "stat" referrals when necessary.

• Health Coaching: Actively partner with seniors by providing foundational health coaching and wellness education.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Language Proficiency: Native or professional fluency in Russian and English is strictly required. (Note: Selected candidates will complete an audio-based language assessment via computer program during the interview process).

• Education: High school diploma or equivalent (GED).

• Certification: Current Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers.

• EMR Experience: Familiarity with Electronic Medical Records platforms (eClinicalWorks or similar EMRs).

Preferred Experience

• 6+ months of robust phlebotomy and lab experience.

• Prior experience working directly with geriatric/elderly patient populations.

• Background working within a Value-Based Care or Medicare Advantage model.

The Ideal Soft Skills & Culture Fit

• High Adaptability: We are a rapidly growing company where training and workflows can update quickly. You should feel comfortable learning on the fly and doing things differently than traditional healthcare models.

• True Team Player: We operate lean, busy, and efficient clinics. The ideal candidate is cross-functional and eager to step in and help a teammate or patient, even if they aren't assigned to your specific schedule.

• Highly Punctual: Our daily huddles kick off exactly at 8:00 AM. Being present, prepared, and ready to collaborate with your team every morning is essential to our daily workflow.

What’s In It For You?

• Competitive Pay & Enhancements: Strong hourly base pay supplemented by a guaranteed bilingual premium and additional performance-based bonus potential.

• Impactful Work: Ditch the rushed 10-minute turnaround times. Enjoy a slower, intentional 45-minute care pace designed to truly change outcomes for seniors.

• Career Growth: Join a fast-scaling organization with long-term upward mobility and ongoing skill training.

• Provided Attire: Clean, professional uniform standard (Black or Blue Scrubs).
