About the role

We are looking for an OB/GYN Medical Assistant who wants to join our team at Branch Health Clinic Dam Neck in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

• Check patients in and perform initial screenings: vital signs, weight, fetal heart tones via Doppler, fundal height measurements, and record/report retrieval.
• Screens patients using standard questionnaires per clinic protocol.
• Prepare the electronic health record and any forms needed before each visit; have backup paperwork ready in case of an EHR outage.
• Review upcoming provider schedules to flag gaps and keep the team workflow on track.
• Provide patient instructions and health promotion materials per clinic protocol.
• Participate in daily team huddles and communicate clearly with providers, patients, families, and other departments.

• Motivated by the chance to serve U.S. Navy service members and their families.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.
• Graduate of an accredited Medical Assistant training program (CAAHEP, ABHES, or a U.S. Armed Forces medical services training program).

• U.S. citizenship (or eligibility to work on a federal military installation).
• Ability to pass a background check and obtain a base access ID.
• Up-to-date immunizations (Varicella, MMR, Tdap, Hepatitis B, annual flu) and TB screening.
• Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office, general data entry).
