We are hiring a clinical Medical Assistant who values variety and team collaboration. You will be the first clinical face our patients see on the way to the exam room, and the person who keeps the provider's day moving. While this position focuses on clinical workflows, the ideal candidate can step into front office duties when clinic volume shifts or coverage is needed. This is a founding-team role: you will help set up our rooms, workflows, and electronic health record templates before we open.
