What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Assistant / Patient Care Coordinator position at Ascent Healthcare?
Medical Assistant / Patient Care Coordinator
Ascent Healthcare | Shelburne, Vermont
Ascent Healthcare is growing, and we’re looking for a warm, capable, organized person to join our small team in a combined clinical administrative role.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys patient care but also likes keeping things organized and making a medical office run smoothly. You’ll spend part of your time at the front desk helping patients and managing day-to-day office needs, and part of your time supporting our providers clinically.
What you’ll do:
* Welcome and check in patients
* Answer phones and assist with scheduling
* Help manage messages, forms, records, and other administrative tasks
* Collect payments and assist with basic front-office workflows
* Room patients and obtain vitals
* Perform blood draws and process specimens
* Prepare exam rooms and supplies
* Assist with medication and supply inventory
* Support providers with clinical procedures and patient care as appropriate
* Help keep the office organized, stocked, and running efficiently
* Pitch in wherever needed as part of a small, collaborative team
Who we’re looking for:
We care much more about finding the right person than checking every box.
You should be:
* Friendly, kind, and genuinely comfortable interacting with patients
* Highly organized and dependable
* Comfortable working independently and taking initiative
* Able to move easily between administrative and clinical responsibilities
* Detail-oriented without losing sight of the person in front of you
* Comfortable with computers and learning new systems
* Someone who notices what needs to be done and does it
Clinical experience is strongly preferred. Experience with phlebotomy and obtaining vital signs is especially important. Medical assistant, LNA/CNA, EMT, phlebotomy, or other relevant healthcare experience would all translate well to this position.
