Responsibilities
What You’ll Do
In this fast-paced, patient-facing role, you will help keep the clinic running efficiently while providing compassionate support to patients and their families. Responsibilities include:
- Room and support approximately 40–60 patients per day in collaboration with the clinical team
- Obtain and document vital signs, patient histories, screenings, and other required clinical information
- Perform medication review and maintain accurate clinical documentation in the electronic medical record
- Draw blood and collect and prepare laboratory specimens in accordance with applicable policies and scope of practice
- Support timely patient flow and coordinate closely with RNs, physicians, radiation therapists, and front-desk staff
- Schedule appointments and assist with follow-up testing, referrals, and other care coordination activities
- Prepare, clean, stock, and maintain exam rooms, equipment, and clinical supplies
- Perform additional clinical and administrative Medical Assistant responsibilities within scope of practice
Qualifications
Requirements:
- Graduate of an accredited Medical Assistant program.
- Minimum of 1years of Medical Assistant experience
- California Certified Phlebotomy Technician I (CPT1) certification (highly preferred)
- Basic Life Support (BLS) certification issued by the AHA or ARC
California Phlebotomy Requirement
Candidates who do not currently hold the required California phlebotomy license may still be considered. The selected Medical Assistant will be required to independently obtain the applicable California phlebotomy license within the first year of employment.
A phlebotomy certificate obtained as part of a Medical Assistant training program does not by itself satisfy this requirement.
Successful candidates should be motivated to begin the licensing process promptly after hire and complete it within the required timeframe.
