Job Overview:
We are a two-physician concierge family medicine practice in Rockville looking for one experienced Medical Assistant to be our clinical right hand.
If you are tired of being rushed, tired of rooming a patient every seven minutes, and tired of never finding out what happened to the person you sent to the ER — this is a different kind of job.
We converted to a concierge model in 2025 specifically so we could practice medicine the way it should be practiced: a small patient panel, long visit slots, real preventive care, and time to actually get to the bottom of things. Our MA gets the same benefit. You will know our patients by name.
What you'll do
- Room patients, obtain vitals and histories, and prepare them for the visit
- EKGs, injections, immunizations, and point-of-care testing
- Manage vaccine and medical supply inventory
- Assist with in-office procedures
- Handle prescription refill requests, prior authorizations, and lab result routing under physician direction
- Maintain exam rooms, equipment, and clinical stock
- Track preventive care gaps and help run patient recall lists
- Work alongside our two front-office staff as a small, tight team
What we're looking for
Required
- Completion of an accredited Medical Assistant program
- At least 2 years of hands-on MA experience in an outpatient setting
- Confident, independent skills
- Comfort with EKGs, injections, and immunization administration
- Working knowledge of an electronic health record (eClinicalworks)
- Excellent, warm communication with patients — our members expect a high-touch experience
Preferred
- CMA (AAMA), RMA (AMT), or CCMA (NHA) certification
- Family medicine, internal medicine, or primary care background
- Experience in a small private practice
- Familiarity with prior authorizations and pharmacy workflows
- preferred
Who thrives here: someone organized enough to keep a small practice running smoothly without being told, and kind enough that patients look forward to seeing you.
What we offer
- $21.00 – $24.00 per hour, based on experience and certification
- Direct mentorship from two board-certified family physicians (MD, FAAFP) with master's degrees in preventive medicine
- A practice with a genuine plant-forward, root-cause, preventive care philosophy — if that's how you think about health, you'll fit right in
- A small, stable, respectful team
Integrity, always doing the right thing, high degree of initiative, accountability and ability to independently solve problems. We offer a competitive salary based on previous experience.

Tips for Your Practice Assistant Job Search
Tailor your resume to each setting
A practice assistant resume for a dental office reads differently than one for a law firm or veterinary clinic. Adjust your language to reflect the terminology, software, and workflows specific to the practice type you're targeting.
Highlight scheduling and coordination software
Many job postings list specific practice management systems as requirements. Name the platforms you've used, such as electronic health record tools or case management systems, and place them prominently in your skills section.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists practice assistant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare for scenario-based interview questions
Interviewers for practice assistant roles often ask how you've handled a difficult patient, an overbooked schedule, or a billing discrepancy. Have two or three specific examples ready that show both your process and the outcome.
Get certified in your target specialty
Credentials like a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant designation or a state-recognized veterinary assistant certificate can move your application past automated screening filters in competitive markets. Check what's standard in your target practice area before applying.
Follow up without being pushy
If you haven't heard back within ten business days of applying, a brief, professional email to the practice manager restating your interest is appropriate. Reference the specific role and one concrete reason you're a strong fit for that setting.
Practice Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most practice assistants?
The companies hiring the most practice assistants right now include Hackensack Meridian Health, University Of Washington, and University of Texas Medical Branch, with the largest share of openings in Massachusetts, Texas, and New Jersey, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Multi-location healthcare groups and law firms with multiple offices tend to post the highest volume of openings consistently.
How many practice assistant jobs are remote?
About 23% of practice assistant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the share varies significantly by practice type. Administrative and billing-focused roles are the most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements, while clinical-facing and front-desk positions almost always require in-person attendance.
How do you become a practice assistant?
Most practice assistants start by completing a high school diploma and gaining front-office or customer service experience. From there, earning a certificate or associate degree in medical assisting, healthcare administration, or a related field strengthens your application. Getting familiar with practice management software and learning the terminology for your target specialty, whether medical, dental, legal, or veterinary, prepares you to perform well in interviews and on the job.
Can you get hired as a practice assistant with little experience?
Yes, many practices hire candidates with limited direct experience if they can demonstrate strong organizational skills, comfort with office software, and a professional communication style. Volunteer work at a clinic, an internship through a vocational program, or even a customer-facing retail or hospitality background can substitute for formal practice experience in entry-level postings. Tailoring your application to the specific practice type helps your resume stand out.
What does the practice assistant interview process look like?
Most practice assistant interviews involve an initial phone or video screen followed by one or two in-person rounds with the practice manager or office administrator. Expect scenario-based questions about handling scheduling conflicts, managing difficult interactions with patients or clients, and prioritizing tasks during busy periods. Some employers also conduct a short skills assessment covering typing speed, software familiarity, or knowledge of relevant terminology before extending an offer.
