Known for Excellence - be part of this dynamic and growing team.

The Medical Assistant provides direct patient care and clinical support within an outpatient clinic. Responsibilities include obtaining vital signs, reconciling medications, collecting patient history, and facilitating patient flow. Additional duties involve managing the electronic health record (EPIC), scheduling appointments, processing medication requests, handling prior authorizations, and coordinating tests and procedures. Upon successful completion of clinical competency, the role may also require performing EKGs, lab tests, injections, and/or phlebotomy. Strong communication and organizational skills are essential to ensure efficient patient care and support for providers.

The MA will communicate with pharmacies, insurance companies, patients, and physicians in a respectful manner and will uphold Baptist's mission and core values that drive service excellence.

A minimum of one year of experience in a medical office, clinic, or similar setting is required. This experience must include direct, hands-on patient care in a clinical setting, such as obtaining manual vital signs, documenting patient history and medications, and performing clinical procedures (e.g., EKGs, phlebotomy, administering injections or vaccines). A combination of relevant experience and formal medical-related education may be considered to meet this requirement.

• Upon hire, all Medical Assistants will undergo a clinical competency assessment and must successfully complete MA orientation. Those who do not meet the required standards will be enrolled in the Medical Assistant (MA) Trainee Program for further development and reevaluation.
• Basic Life Support from the American Heart Association within 90 days of hire.
• BAT and DOT certifications are required for Medical Assistants in Occupational Medicine.

Upon hire, these disciplines will be assessed for clinical competency and will be required to successfully complete an MA orientation/externship as well as any additional training as required by the provider.

If you would like to be part of a growing family focused on supporting clinical excellence, teamwork, and innovation, we urge you to apply now!
