Job Summary

Delivering quality healthcare requires skilled professionals who are able to act as a conduit between upset, exhausted, and sometimes angry patients and no-nonsense clinical providers. With this in mind, our organization is searching for a qualified medical assistant to help fill this role. If you like working with and around doctors, nurse practitioners and other clinicians while also enjoying the chance to interact with patients, then this may be the ideal job for you.
