This role is ideal for a dependable, patient-focused Medical Assistant who enjoys variety, independence, and being part of a mobile care team. You'll prepare for daily visits by reviewing electronic medical records, maintaining clinical supplies and equipment, securing necessary documentation, and ensuring the vehicle and materials used in the field are ready for patient care. When supporting the office, you'll assist with phones, patient documentation, new patient materials, and other administrative needs.
