Medical Assistant

Position: Health Coach / Medical Assistant

Company: Medi-Weightloss of N Austin (Anderson Mill)

Part Time. Tuesday–Saturday. [With path to Full Time]

Tue 2pm–7pm, Wed 7am-12pm, Thur 2pm-7pm, Fri 7am-12pm, Sat 8am-2pm [Ramping up schedule]

About Us: Medi-Weightloss of N Austin (Anderson Mill) is a physician-supervised weight loss practice. Our patients come back every week, often for a year or more. That changes the job. You are not moving strangers through a room — you learn names, you see the numbers move, and you are part of why they move.

We are looking for someone who wants both halves of this work: the clinical skill and the coaching.

Why Join Us:

• A schedule you keep. Tuesday through Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. No nights. And we keep trained temp staff on call, so when you need time off, you take it.
• Pay we will state up front. Starting at $18.00 per hour, reviewed as your skills and responsibilities grow.
• Room to grow into coaching. This role starts clinical and opens into patient coaching as you learn our program. How fast is up to you.
• Real training. Full program protocol, body composition analysis, and the coaching methods behind our results.
• Benefits. Paid time off, paid holidays, and health insurance, subject to plan documents and eligibility. Full-time team members are also eligible for the Medi-Weightloss program at no cost. Participation is voluntary.

Primary Responsibilities: Patient vitals, EKG, phlebotomy, injections, patient coaching, and front office support. We value clinical skill paired with the ability to have an honest, encouraging conversation with a patient about a hard subject.

Administrative Duties:

• Answer and route calls on a multi-line phone system
• Conduct follow-up calls to discuss patient progress and address concerns
• Refer non-routine, sensitive, or complex requests to the appropriate staff member
• Greet patients and maintain a friendly, professional environment
• Monitor daily inventory levels of clinical and office supplies
• Scan and upload documents into patient files daily
• Participate in clinic marketing efforts and community outreach

Clinical Duties (performed under physician delegation and supervision):

• Obtain patient vitals, body composition measurements, and EKG; perform phlebotomy and urinalysis
• Administer IM injections
• Prepare laboratory order forms and obtain patient laboratory results
• Process and coordinate provider-ordered referrals
• Document progress notes and patient data in the EMR
• Maintain a clean, stocked, inspection-ready clinical space

Patient Coaching:

• Collect intake information and present the Medi-Weightloss program. The physician or nurse practitioner performs the clinical evaluation and sets the treatment plan.
• Review progress with patients each visit and encourage adherence to the provider's plan
• Educate patients on nutrition, activity, and behavior change
• Follow up between visits to answer questions and keep patients on track

Requirements:

• Hands-on phlebotomy experience. We will ask you to demonstrate a draw during the interview.
• Ability to place a 12-lead EKG without a reference
• Comfort administering IM injections
• Ability to discuss weight, nutrition, and measurements with patients as a routine clinical topic
• Strong communication skills and genuine patience

Medical Assistant certification is welcome and shortens your ramp, but it is not required. We hire on demonstrated skill.

A plus: front office, insurance and VOB experience, EMR proficiency, a background in nutrition or exercise, or Spanish fluency.

Salary: From $18.00 per hour
