Medical Assistant Certified

At Forefront Dermatology, our Certified Medical Assistants help create an efficient, patient-centered clinical experience. You’ll work alongside dermatology and/or plastic surgery clinicians, support patients throughout their visits, and contribute to a coordinated clinical team. 

Bring your certification, clinical skills, and commitment to patient care to a role where you can continue learning and make a difference every day.

As a Certified Medical Assistant, you’ll help keep the clinic running smoothly while supporting patient care. You’ll: 

• Welcome and room patients; obtain and document vital signs, patient history, reason for visit, medications, and preferred pharmacy. 

• Prepare patients for dermatologic procedures, including biopsies and phototherapy; assist clinicians, maintain sterile fields, hand instruments, and document care in the electronic medical record. 

• Support medical scribing, preliminary encounter notes, and accurate MIPS and body-area documentation. 

• Clean, stock, and turn over exam rooms; prepare supplies, instruments, and procedural trays; package specimens for the appropriate dermatopathology laboratory and maintain assigned lab and pathology logs. 

• Monitor patient comfort and provide basic post-visit and medication education as directed by the clinician. 

• Review and document routine patient calls, escalate complex issues, and support prior authorizations, and biologic therapy starts with accurate electronic medical record tracking. 

• Maintain infection-control standards, sterilize instruments, track inventory, and notify management when supplies need replenishment. 

• Perform authorized duties under clinician supervision and applicable law, which may include medication administration, suture removal, wound dressing, blood draws, and specimen collection and processing. 

• Coordinate with teammates to support clinic flow, procedure scheduling, patient follow-up, and other assigned duties.
