Medical Assistant (Pre-Med / Pre-PA Track)

About the Role
This role is designed for a highly motivated pre-med or pre-PA candidate seeking serious, hands-on clinical experience in a fast-paced rheumatology and regenerative medicine practice.

You will work directly with providers, gain exposure to procedures, and play an active role in patient care, documentation, and clinic operations. This is an immersive learning environment, not an observational role.

We are looking for someone who is dependable, intellectually curious, and ready to contribute at a high level from day one. This position is best suited for candidates taking a gap year who are committed to building a strong clinical foundation before applying to professional school.
