This is a highly versatile position for an experienced Medical Assistant who is comfortable working both clinically and at the front desk and can quickly adapt to different providers, offices, and daily staffing needs.

This position is designed for someone with significant medical office experience who enjoys variety and does not need every day to look the same. A strong candidate can walk into either office, assess what needs attention, and get to work. You should be equally comfortable saying: "I can room the next patient." "I'll cover the front desk." "I'll call that patient back." "I'll help the provider with that procedure." "I'll take care of that referral." We want someone who sees themselves as part of the entire practice team , rather than someone who will only perform one specific set of duties.
