About The Position

The Kidney Experts is hiring a Medical Assistant or LPN for its Union City, Tennessee clinic. The clinic serves Obion County and northwest Tennessee and is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM. Candidates with no medical experience are welcome and will be trained as medical assistants. The role supports kidney-care providers and focuses on patient care and follow-up between visits to help slow kidney disease.

The position includes rooming patients, taking vital signs, updating medication lists and patient histories, coordinating referrals and records, following up on lab and procedure results, and communicating provider-directed medication changes and results to patients. The employee also maintains accurate charts and prepares exam rooms while working with providers, scribes, and front-desk staff.
