Who You Are

• A clinician who thrives at the intersection of rigorous care standards and a care delivery model that is still being built.
• Skilled in patient education, coaching, and care coordination - you meet patients where they are in life, considering their age, lifestyle, and diet.
• Disciplined in documentation and follow-through, with the attention to detail required for accurate clinical records in a remote environment.
• Reliable and consistent in schedule adherence, with the interpersonal communication skills to build trust with patients over the phone.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, fast-paced environment with evolving workflows, and tech-savvy enough to navigate and troubleshoot multiple systems simultaneously while keeping patients engaged.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted clinical tools (such as Gemini or Open Evidence) to support patient interactions and surface relevant clinical context, while maintaining clinical judgment as the primary guide for every patient decision.
• Biased toward action - you bring clinical authority to every interaction, make the call when it counts, and take ownership of outcomes.

What You Need

• An active Medical Assistant certification from an accredited association (either AAMA, AMCA, AMT, NHA, NAHP, NCCT, NRCMA/NRCAMA, or AAH) is required.
• At least 5 years of experience as a Medical Assistant is required.
• Remote work readiness (including stable high-speed WiFi) is required.
• Experience working in internal medicine, cardiology, nephrology or with the geriatric population is preferred.
• Experience providing patient education and support to individuals managing chronic conditions is preferred.
• Fluency in Spanish is strongly preferred.
• Fluency with AI-assisted clinical tools (such as Gemini, Open Evidence, or comparable platforms) and the ability to speak credibly with providers and patients about where AI supports care delivery and where human judgment remains non-negotiable.
