Ma Assistant information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a medical assistant?

To thrive as a Medical Assistant, you need knowledge of clinical procedures, basic medical terminology, and administrative tasks, typically supported by a certificate or diploma in medical assisting. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems, scheduling software, and medical billing codes is important. Strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask help Medical Assistants excel in patient interactions and office operations. These skills ensure efficient patient care, accurate record-keeping, and smooth workflow in healthcare settings.

What are some common challenges MA assistants face in managing multiple executives' calendars and priorities?

Ma Assistants often juggle complex schedules and competing priorities when supporting more than one executive. This requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt quickly to last-minute changes. Clear communication and proactive planning are essential to ensure meetings, travel, and deadlines are well-coordinated. Building strong relationships with both executives and their teams can also help anticipate needs and minimize scheduling conflicts.

Full-Time Dental Assistant - MA & RI (Multiple Clinic Locations)

Comprehensive Mobile Care

Riverside, RI • On-site

$30 - $32/hr

Full-time

Posted 15 days ago

Job description

Full-Time Dental Assistant - MA & RI (Multiple Clinic Locations)

Location: Massachusetts & Rhode Island – Multiple Clinic Locations (West Springfield, MA • Brockton, MA • Riverside, RI • Woonsocket, RI)

Schedule: Full-Time, 4-5 days per week (Monday through Friday)

Compensation: $30-$32 per hour + mileage reimbursement

Position Type: W2

About The Opportunity

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is seeking a Full-Time Traveling Dental/Clinical Assistant to support care across multiple outpatient clinic-based environments in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

This role functions as an extension of the clinical team within coordinated, community-focused settings serving senior populations. You will travel to all four clinic locations on a rotating basis, providing reliable support to our dental and multi-specialty providers.

If you're looking for meaningful, mission-driven work with predictable scheduling — and you enjoy variety in your work environment — this opportunity offers flexibility, stability, and full administrative support.

Clinic Locations

You will support care across the following partner sites:

Massachusetts • West Springfield, MA • Brockton, MA

Rhode Island • Riverside, RI • Woonsocket, RI

The setting

This opportunity operates within a community-based outpatient clinic model.

• Clinic staff are on-site full time

• Organized scheduling and predictable patient flow

• Coordinated, team-based care environment

• Value-based model focused on seniors

CMC manages equipment, supplies, scheduling, billing, and logistics — allowing you to focus entirely on supporting high-quality patient care.

What You'll Do

• Assist the Dentist during exams and procedures

• Support clinical workflows across dental and multi-specialty services

• Prepare treatment rooms and sterilize instruments

• Support patient intake and documentation

• Maintain infection control and sterilization standards

• Collaborate with clinic staff as part of an integrated care team

What Makes This Different

This is not a high-volume corporate dental environment.

Our assistants work within established clinic environments supporting care for seniors as part of a coordinated healthcare team.

We emphasize:

• Quality over volume

• Consistency and predictable scheduling

• Administrative and logistical support

• Long-term clinic partnerships

• Ethical, mission-driven healthcare delivery

Qualifications

• Dental or medical assisting experience required

• Active radiology certificate required

• Dental Assistant diploma from an accredited school required

• Experience treating senior populations preferred

• Strong organizational and patient communication skills

• Comfortable traveling to multiple clinic locations

Schedule

• Full-Time, 4-5 days per week, on Monday through Friday

• Weekday daytime hours

• Typical hours: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM

• No nights

• No weekends

Comprehensive Mobile Care (CMC) is a family-founded healthcare organization with over 25 years of experience increasing access to care for senior and underserved communities across 20+ states.
