About the Role
Tired of rushing from one patient to the next? At KerixHealth, you’ll have the time to actually know your patients, not just their charts. Healthcare is better when you can build the kind of relationships that make this work meaningful.
Our Direct Primary Care model means smaller patient panels and longer visits. As a Medical Assistant in our Northbrook office, you’ll be the familiar face patients trust and look forward to seeing. You’ll work under the direct supervision of our physicians on clinical matters and our Director of Patient Success on administrative matters, helping patients get exceptional care and navigate the broader healthcare system with confidence.
What You’ll Do
Clinical care
- Greet and room patients, creating a warm, welcoming experience from the moment they arrive
- Perform vital signs and routine diagnostic or therapeutic testing
- Perform blood draws and other specimen collection (urine, vaginal, and stool), with phlebotomy as a core, daily part of this role
- Perform waived lab testing and routine quality control checks
- Join our daily morning clinical care meeting with the Director of Patient Success to review and discuss patient care
Care coordination
- Serve as a trusted resource and point of contact for patients referred to specialists and other services
- Schedule specialty appointments, x-rays, and procedures
- Respond to and document referral requests per established protocols
- Obtain outside medical records and organize them in our EMR
Keeping the practice running smoothly
- Order and restock medical supplies
- Keep exam rooms clean, safe, and ready for patient visits
- Other duties as needed to support our patients and team

- Comfort with technology & medical documentation: Google Docs, Apple computers, and electronic medical records, plus the ability to quickly learn other tools we use (PDF organizers, the Quest laboratory system, and more)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent customer service skills
- US work authorization
You’ll thrive here if you:
- Enjoy building lasting relationships with patients
- Are energized by both hands-on patient care and administrative work
- Multitask well in a fast-paced, high-touch professional environment
- Bring a positive, flexible, can-do attitude
- Pick up new technology quickly
