What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Assistant position at Oula?
Oula delivers maternity care built around our patients – offering comprehensive support before, during, and after pregnancy. With fewer C-sections and higher VBAC success rates, our research-backed approach is delivering better outcomes. Our team of trusted midwives, OBGYNs and dedicated care navigators ensure our patients get the type of care they need in the moments that matter most. Since launching in 2021, we've expanded our services to include Preconception and Miscarriage Care, Pregnancy Care, Hospital-Based Delivery, Postpartum Support, and Gynecology. We have 3 clinics in New York, with exciting expansion on the Horizon! Come join our team of clinicians, innovators, operators, and technologists, passionate about setting a new standard in maternity care.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Medical Assistant to join our collaborative maternity practice. We're searching for an individual who is thoughtful and passionate about delivering patient-centric care and is excited to join a dynamic and innovative team.
In addition to helping shape Oula's patient's overall clinical experience, you will also be responsible for routine clinical and administrative tasks that help ensure the clinics run smoothly and that patients are roomed in a timely manner. This is the perfect opportunity for an individual that is excited to help execute a new best-in-class maternity care experience.
This is a full time position in our new Norwalk, CT location. This is a part-time role (~20 hours a week). This is a benefits eligible position.
Key Responsibilities:
We want you to know: You can be a great candidate even if you don't fit everything we've described above. You can also have important skills we haven't thought of. If that's you, don't hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself (especially in your cover letter – this is where you can really state your case for *why you*). We are committed to fostering diversity in our organization and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences. We're taking steps to meet that commitment. We especially encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQ people, veterans, and people with disabilities.
