The Community Health and Well Being Team is looking to hire a PRN Medical Assistant for our Mobile Health Clinic that visits rural locations across the Treasure Valley!

About the Mobile Health Clinic

The mobile health clinic offers healthcare and vaccination services in rural and underserved communities in Western Idaho and Eastern Oregon – migrant farms, homeless shelters, patient homes, etc. In this MA position you would be working with marginalized and underserved populations; many do not speak English as their first language.

About this Position

This clinic operates like an Urgent Care model working with a provider and RN. As the MA you will be performing rooming, patient intakes, point of care testing, administering vaccinations, and assisting with provider exams, along with diabetes and heart screening. Duties include follow up with the patients and troubleshooting social determinants to ensure health and well-being. The hours are flexible and centered around the mobile clinic schedule, some evenings and weekend work also.

An ideal candidate is someone who enjoys leadership opportunities and would be comfortable with this type of clinic setting. In addition, being bilingual in Spanish and having a medical interpreter certification is preferred, but not required.

Some other things to note about this position:

• These clinics won't be fully operational until late April/early May, but full training will be needed prior to clinic start dates

• This is a mobile unit, there can be significant drive time to the clinic location with some set up.

• There is also a lot of movement of items in and out of the RV/vans so lifting and carrying is required.

• Some clinics run into the evening or on weekends (with pay differentials).

• Weather is sometimes a factor, either for driving or at clinic. It can be, and has been, cold/hot at clinics. We do our best to mitigate with equipment, etc.

• There will be real time documentation in our medical record (Epic) with follow-up work after clinics required – patient results review and notification, provider communication, etc.

• Performance and competency training of basic clinical skills: vitals, point of care testing, venipuncture, assisting with procedures, ear lavage, etc.

Possible Work Hours: Friday evenings - 4:00pm - 7:00pm, Saturdays - 10:00am - 3:00pm, and one weekday to be determined.

*This position qualifies for pay differentials!*
