About the Behavioral Health Clinic
This Medical Assistant role functions differently than a traditional hands-on clinic MA position.
Approximately 85% of patient visits are conducted virtually, and the majority of daily work is focused on care coordination, patient communication, and medication workflow rather than direct patient care or clinical procedures.
In this role, you'll support psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners while helping patients navigate their mental health care journey.
