What does a Medical Assistant (MA) do?

Position Overview:
Your primary role is to provide exceptional patient care by creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment for women’s healthcare visits. Understanding that many patients experience anxiety or discomfort with medical appointments, you’ll use your empathetic communication skills to build trust and provide reassurance. Key responsibilities include conducting patient assessments, supporting clinical workflow, performing basic medical procedures like phlebotomy, coordinating laboratory services, and ensuring patients receive all necessary follow-up instructions and referrals.

• Set the tone for a patient to have a good experience
• Assess the reason for the visit so you can make sure the doctor will have everything she will need for that patient's visit
• Checking blood pressure
• Update medication lists
• Drawing blood
• Giving injections
• Sending labs
• Making sure the patient leaves with all orders and referrals needed
• Sending appointment reminders
• Keeping rooms clean and inviting
• Keeping the doctor on time so patients are not kept waiting
• Ordering supplies when needed

We believe in investing in great people, regardless of their background. You’ll receive complete hands-on training and ongoing support to help you feel confident in your new role. We set realistic expectations and maintain open communication—you’ll never be left wondering how you’re doing or feeling overwhelmed. We’ll help you understand the important difference you make in each patient’s day and how your caring approach creates positive healthcare experiences.

• Have a friendly, compassionate nature that makes patients feel comfortable
• Want to be part of a supportive team that works well together
• Are motivated by the opportunity to help women with their healthcare needs
• Understand the importance of being on time and keeping things running smoothly
• Are excited to learn new things and aren’t shy about asking for help
• Prefer staying busy with varied tasks rather than doing the same thing all day

This Position Is Suitable If You:

• Feel uncomfortable with the intimate nature of women’s health examinations and procedures
• Are squeamish about blood draws, injections, or other clinical procedures
• Have personal beliefs that would prevent you from treating all patients with equal respect and care
• Prefer desk work over active, physically engaging tasks
• Are not comfortable in women’s healthcare environments
