The Medical Assistant Role at Florence
Our dedicated Care Teams at Florence Health represent a comprehensive assembly of healthcare professionals, including a doctor, a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, and medical assistants. In our patient-centric approach, our providers assume the pivotal role of primary medical caregivers for the Medicare patients under our care. This involves delivering longitudinal care and fostering meaningful connections with each patient, creating a foundation of trust and enhancing the patient's understanding and connection to their personalized care plan.
At the core of our Care Team structure is the indispensable role of the Medical Assistant (MA). Working closely with the MA Site Lead, the MA plays a crucial part in ensuring the seamless operation of patient appointments at the clinic. This entails meticulous preparation for the day, execution of back-office MA duties, and providing essential assistance to the Site Lead as necessary.
During patient appointments, the MA takes on the responsibility of rooming the patient. This involves orienting the patient about visit goals based on encounter prep, collecting vitals, and gathering other pertinent information before the provider's involvement. Beyond these technical aspects, the MA's bedside manner and overall professionalism contribute significantly to making the patient feel welcomed and at ease during the appointment. The MA becomes a vital ambassador, instilling confidence in the patient regarding the clinic, the provider, and the overall care team.
This role demands not only technical proficiency but also warmth and passion for patient interactions, meticulous attention to detail, pride in presentation, and a collaborative mindset. The MA collaborates seamlessly with the provider and fellow medical assistants, ensuring a cohesive and patient-centered healthcare experience.
What we’re looking for:
- Certified Medical Assistants, preferably with experience in primary care: internal medicine, general practice, geriatrics, or family medicine.
- Genuine passion for primary care. (Done well, the practice of medicine should be one of the most rewarding endeavors available.)
- Positive energy!
- Intrinsic motivation and values, including accountability and ownership for the medical assisting responsibilities and expectations.
- An embrace of teamwork, communication, and the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant colleagues.
- A desire to be a part of a company whose business model is based on high-quality primary care and empirical patient outcomes.
