We share the commitment to delivering a coordinated and comprehensive experience across all locations, ensuring the appropriate level of care is available to every patient across our care delivery sites.

We are located at 400 Highland Ave in Salem MA. As an Internal Medicine office, we provide outstanding primary care and preventative health care to adult patients. We are constantly aiming to improve access for patients and to meet the evolving health care needs of the communities we serve. Primary care is all about relationship-building! We pride ourselves on our empathetic and compassionate approach to focused patient care. The whole team really gets to know our patients to ensure that they are receiving exceptional, personalized care in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.

We are seeking a full-time, 40-hour Medical Assistant to work onsite at our Primary Care/Internal Medicine practice located at 400 Highland Avenue in Salem, MA.

We also carve out dedicated time for both clinical and indirect responsibilities, ensuring a balanced workload that can be completed fully within scope and within the standard workweek.

-We’re intentional about alignment. With openings supporting both MD and NP providers, we take time during orientation to match each new hire with the clinician whose style and needs best complement their strengths.

-We mentor thoughtfully and invest in team members who are committed to growing with us and building a long-term career. As part of that commitment, we strongly encourage all Medical Assistants to pursue national certification and offer support in obtaining it.

-We serve a community-reflective patient population, offering variety and broad clinical exposure while providing continuity of care and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
