Medical Assistant / LPN - Women's Healthcare Associates, LLC

ROCK STAR Medical Assistant/LPN? We're hiring!

Light up a room on rooming days? You'll fit right in.

At WHA, our patients are our people. Together we're a team of dedicated OB/GYN physicians, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, certified nurse-midwives, nurse practitioners and counselors-and all the people who make it possible for them to do what they do (maybe you, too!)-honoring who it is that walks through our doors as they define and know themselves to be. We're here to uplift them through the quality of our connections, enriching their health and their lives. We take care of 50,000+ people each year across 12 clinic locations throughout the Portland area. Our patients-their backgrounds, situations and physical and emotional needs are as beautifully complex and diverse as they are-and our jobs are to help each and every person thrive.

As an MA/LPN here, you'll have the flexibility and opportunity to learn and grow with different providers and subspecialties within obstetrics and gynecology. Whatever your professional goals, we work with you to achieve them. Interested in partnering with a nurse-midwife to learn more about their holistic, collaborative approach? This is the place. Fascinated by the variety of routine and not-so-routine gynecology issues? Us, too! Love the long-term relationships you develop with patients during pregnancy? You belong here.

It's a special MA/LPN we're looking for. You're kind, relatable, adaptable, open-minded and-of course-trained and eager to learn. Most importantly, you are excited to share your compassion with patients who can be experiencing vulnerable and challenging times. Some have families to take care of, others have made, or may face, brave choices. We're here for all of them. And we'd love to welcome you!

WHAT WE OFFER OUR MA/LPNs:

Flexibility with security

• We do our best to meet you where you are in terms of schedule; e.g., four tens, Saturday and evening opportunities (telehealth only for the moment)
• Hourly rate depending on experience and other helpful skills (bilingual by chance? :)
• Shift differentials for hours above FTE, Saturday work and filling in at different hubs

Professional growth + support

• Comprehensive onboarding and onsite mentorship by designated preceptor, plus anytime-access to the central training team
• Ongoing job-related skills training (patient experience, CPR, medical terminology, cultural competency and health equity topics, among others)
• Professional development and cross training opportunities among clinic roles, providers and specialties-including more hands-on patient care: NSTs, injections, setting up a sterile field, assisting in procedures, etc.
• Incentives to take on more responsibility (such as preceptorship)
• Annual education budget (and the schedule flexibility to use it!)

Emphasis on team-building and company culture

• Relationship building across departments and offices
• Opportunities to grow and develop personally and professionally through employee resource groups
• Ability to have input into WHA's priorities related to job satisfaction and fulfillment
• Encouragement to step out of your comfort zone and be part of our continuous evolution

• Tee-up day by entering information from patient-completed forms into electronic medical record. Preload paper or outside records. Prepare patient information for clinician review prior to appointment

• Facilitate patient care by assuring clinician's orders are entered and follow-up occurs

• Model WHA's values and commitment to The Patient Experience
