The Eagle Internal Medicine clinic is looking to hire a team-oriented and confident Medical Assistant!

Position Summary & Highlights:

• This MA position will primarily support a new Internal Medicine physician to the clinic.

• Saint Alphonsus internal medicine providers are specially trained to diagnose and treat chronic and complex conditions, often caring for patients with more than one disease.

• This clinic boasts a very positive, fun, and highly team-oriented environment in a very nice clinic location!

What You Will Do: 

• In addition to typical MA duties, you will perform POC testing, immunizations, med refills, patient calls and triage, and assisting with minor procedures and healthcare assessments when needed.

• You will primarily be working with older patients so appointments will be longer (2 hours for new patients, 1 hour for follow up appointments) due to the patient meeting with multiple providers/staff on the team.

• You will have the opportunity to cross train in Geriatrics as well to be able to support MAs and other providers when needed.

• An ideal candidate will be team-oriented, have a positive attitude, and is flexible and adaptable.

• You will also have a sense of urgency during the rooming process and with any orders or tasks since the patient may meet with several providers and staff during their visit.

• You will also enjoy developing relationships with patients and you are dedicated and committed to providing the best patient care!

40 hours per week, Mondays - Fridays, schedule can vary between the hours of 7:00am - 5:00pm based on clinic needs.
