Pleasant work environment as a result of warm, friendly, and intelligent staff
Register Nurse (Current Employee), Wellesley, MA – April 13, 2013
Pros: lunch time educational offerings
Cons: difficult to get out of work on time
At HVMA I have had the opportunity to work with knowledgeable and supportive physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical assistants, and medical secretaries. I have been fortunate to have access to valuable medical resources such as Up To Date and am able to utilize this educational material daily when needed. As compared to my previous – more... employment I have learned far more here than anywhere else I have worked including hospital settings. HVMA gave me the opportunity to further my education while I worked and offered me tuition reimbursement. I am very grateful for that benefit. Unfortunately, like many nursing positions it is difficult to manage work and personal life. I am not really sure if that is possible in any other place of nursing employment either but I am still searching. – less

Professional workplace
Medical Assistant Extern (Former Employee), Somerville, MA – October 22, 2012
Pros: mbta accessible
Cons: small break room
I was a summer Extern working Monday-Friday from 9a-4:30p. There were 4 physicians total where three of them, I assisted with. I learned what is expected of a Medical Assistant and the expectations of different physicians. One was very fast paced, one wasn't and one was actually at work once a month.I also learned that not all places require all the – more... skills I learned while in school but I am happy to have learned it.
Management and the co-workers were overall friendly and helpful. The hardest part of the job was waiting for something to do next. It was very slow Monday- Wednesday and it sped up on Thursdays. The most enjoyable part was direct patient care. – less

Productive and inspiring place to work
Pharmacy Graduate Intern (Former Employee), Quincy, MA – July 5, 2012
Pros: free breakfast at times, even lunch ocassionally.
Cons: short breaks. the health insurance coverage i was offered then, was about the best in massachusttes.
The first few hours were always very, very busy. It subsides in the afternoon, may be after 2 to 3pm.
I learned a lot about purchasing, retailing and inventory management, the latest drug manufacture and how to navigate with the computer system.
The management was good and effective, ready to assist me with all my questions and put me through how to – more... make effective use of what the management had to offer then, when I worked with them.
The co-workers very friendly, ready to help.
The most enjoyable part of the work was I was able to practice my profession ethically. – less

Pros: free parking
Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates (HVMA) is a wonderful place to work. The Chelmsford location has a very low turnover rate. They are a one of the smaller practices; yet, they are not small.

HVMA-West Roxbury
LPN (Former Employee), West Roxbury – March 6, 2012
Pros: supportive in training and education
Cons: exam rooms small and cluttered
I was a LPN with no experience and brand new to the Greater Boston area. HVMA offered the opportunity to give a new grad LPN a chance to grow in the field (which has helped me sharpen my multi-tasking skills!) It was a tremendous experience and they offer more training and education for you to excel in the industry and was even very supportive in my – more... pursuit of obtaining my RN license. – less
