About Us

Mass General Brigham Medical Group represents the merger of separate community medical groups within the Mass General Brigham system into one harmonized and high-performing organization.

  • Brigham and Women's Harbor Medical Associates
  • Cooley Dickinson Medical Group
  • Mass General Brigham Community Physicians
  • Mass General Brigham Integrated Care
  • Mass General Brigham Urgent Care
  • Newton Wellesley Medical Group
  • North Shore Physicians Group
  • Pentucket Medical Associates

This work stems from Mass General Brigham’s unified system strategy to bring high-quality healthcare closer to patients while lowering total healthcare costs. MGBMG provides a wide range of offerings, including primary care, behavioral and mental health, specialty care, outpatient surgery, endoscopy, imaging, lab services, infusion, and urgent care both digitally and in person in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Our Team

Urgent care, sometimes known as walk-in care, fast care, or express care, is a convenient option for patients who require timely medical care, but the situation is not an emergency. We treat adults and children ages 3 and older and provide care for a wide range of illnesses and injuries, including allergies, asthma, coughs, bronchitis, colds, flu, COVID-19, fever, headache, broken bones, sprains and strains, eye and ear infections, rashes, cuts, sexually transmitted infections, stomach pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. Because patients typically come to us when they aren't feeling their best, it is incredibly important to us that our staff members strive to provide the compassion and emotional support our patients need.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a full-time Medical Assistant to work 3, 12.5-hour shifts per week onsite at our Urgent Care center located at 219 North Main Street Natick, MA. Since Urgent Care is a 7-day-per-week operation that delivers care during the day, evening, weekends, and holidays, the schedule for this role will require 2 on-call shifts per 4-week scheduling period, as well as overtime, weekend, and holiday coverage as needed.

We do our best to keep all employees at their assigned centers; however, for on-call shifts, employees must be able to commute to any of our locations, including Boston Common, Brookline, Lynn, Natick, Newton, Westwood, and Woburn. You may also be asked to report to any of these centers during orientation (for training/precepting purposes) or during times of staffing shortages or other extenuating circumstances (for cross-coverage purposes).

Role Overview

The Medical Assistant supports the healthcare team by assisting with both clinical and non-clinical patient services under the direction of healthcare providers. The key responsibilities include:

  • Rooming patients and preparing the necessary equipment for healthcare providers.
  • Interviewing patients to obtain medical information and recording their vital signs, weight, and height in their medical records.
  • Explaining treatment procedures, medications, diets, and physician instructions to patients, while ordering and organizing educational materials to reinforce patient education.
  • Performing general office duties, such as answering phones, taking dictation, and completing insurance forms, while acting as a liaison with other departments and advocating for patients with a positive customer service approach.
  • Collecting blood, tissue, or other laboratory specimens, logging and preparing them for testing; performing phlebotomy when competence is demonstrated.
  • Maintaining an inventory of immunizations and checking expiration dates.
  • Providing immunizations (as applicable), which requires certification or 3 years of experience administering vaccines and supervision by a provider.

Are you ready to help us deliver top-notch care and exceed patients’ expectations of what a visit to the doctor is like?
