Job description

Overview

Put your clinical skills to work where every patient interaction makes a difference!

If you enjoy phlebotomy, working with patients, and being part of a fast-paced clinical team, this opportunity offers the best of both worlds.

What we're looking for:

• Confidence and proficiency in phlebotomy and specimen collection.

• Ability to thrive in a busy, team-oriented clinical environment.

• Current national certification as either a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) or Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT).
