Medical Assistant / LPN

$15–$17/hour · Full-time · Union City, TN · No medical experience required

Is this you?

You went into healthcare to help people, but right now you spend more time rushing than caring. Here you'll get to know your patients, work closely with kidney doctors and see your follow-through slow down a disease. Medical assistants and LPNs are welcome, and so are people with no medical experience at all. We'll teach you.

Our Union City clinic

You'll work at our Union City clinic at 1117 S Miles Ave, Suite 6, Union City, TN 38261, serving Obion County and northwest Tennessee. Clinic hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM.

A day with us

You room patients, take vitals and update their medications and history before the provider walks in. Between visits you chase down a lab result from another clinic, send a referral, and call a patient to explain a medication change the doctor just made. Those calls matter: the follow-up between visits is a big part of how we keep patients off dialysis.

What you'll do

• Room patients, take vitals and update medication lists and histories
• Send referrals, request records and follow up on lab and procedure results
• Relay medication changes and results to patients as the provider directs
• Keep charts accurate and complete, and help prepare exam rooms
• Work as a team with providers, scribes and front desk staff

AI in your day

We're gradually adding AI tools that help read incoming faxes and referrals and gather outside records, so you spend more time on patient follow-up and education, which is what slows kidney disease down.

What you need

• No medical experience required. We'll train you as a medical assistant.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and you follow through
• Nice to have: medical assistant training or certification, or an active Tennessee LPN license

We'll teach you: vital signs, rooming patients, kidney care and our systems.

Schedule

Monday–Friday during clinic hours.

Pay and benefits

$15–$17 per hour based on experience and credentials.

• Health insurance: we pay up to $500/month, starting the 1st of the month after you start
• Dental and vision: 100% paid by us
• 401(k) with a 3% employer contribution after six months
• 1 week paid time off in year one (grows after that) plus 1 week sick leave you can use for family
• Short- and long-term disability after one month, and a $50,000 life insurance policy

How we use AI here

Our care is delivered by people: physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, medical assistants, scribes and front-office staff. We're gradually adding AI tools to support that team. They help our scribes produce more complete, higher-quality notes and help our providers be more thorough. You'll be trained on these tools as they arrive, and learning to work with them is a skill you'll keep for your whole career.

Our commitment: we use AI to make jobs better and help our people grow, not to replace them.
