Part Time Medical Modeling Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

We're building something new for New York City's independent drivers — the people who keep the city moving but are often left out of traditional healthcare systems. Together with Independent Drivers Guild and Workers Benefit Fund (WBF), we launched the Worker Healthy Living Program (WHLP) — a lifestyle medicine–informed program designed to help drivers live healthier, longer lives through food, movement, sleep, stress management, and community.

Akido is seeking a Part-Time Medical Assistant (MA) to join our interdisciplinary care team delivering holistic, community-based care to underserved populations. This role sits at the heart of a new model of healthcare — combining clinical support, patient advocacy, and community engagement across in-person, virtual, and mobile settings.

You'll work closely with physicians, advanced practice clinicians, dietitians, health coaches, and social workers to support relationship-based care and lifestyle medicine programs focused on chronic disease prevention and management.

This isn't a traditional MA role. You'll help deliver care in community clinics, mobile settings, and digital environments while supporting program innovation, patient engagement, and new care delivery workflows.

This is a fast-paced, early-stage environment where you'll help test new ideas, improve patient experiences, and make a direct impact on people's lives.

• Experience with insurance workflows, reimbursement, or billing processes.

• Interest in lifestyle medicine, preventive care, or community health.

• Flexible schedule based on program needs.

This is a hybrid role with travel across New York City. Work settings may include:

Flexibility and comfort working across different environments is essential.

This role involves both sedentary and active work, including sitting for administrative tasks, standing, walking, transporting supplies, and setting up equipment in clinical and community settings. May require lifting light to moderate objects.
