The Caldwell Elm Pediatrics clinic is now hiring for a team-oriented and efficient Medical Assistant!

Position Summary & Highlights:

This MA position will work as a second MA with two providers at the clinic.

We believe your child deserves a healthcare provider that is as protective and proactive as you are. You deserve a pediatrician who takes the time to listen to your concerns and makes your child's health their primary focus.

Saint Alphonsus pediatric primary care providers are committed to treating each child like they are one of a kind because they are.

From well-child visits and immunizations to diagnosing and treating chronic conditions, our goal is to help ensure your child grows up with every opportunity to be healthy and happy.

What Will You Do:

In addition to rooming and taking vitals you will perform POC testing, newborn screens, vision, hearing, and developmental screenings.

An ideal candidate is passionate about working with kids and parents, has a sense of urgency, is team-oriented and flexible, and enjoys a fun and fast-paced work environment!

You will also have strong self-initiative and communication skills, enjoy developing efficiencies, being part of a supportive team, and willing to assist in all areas of the clinic.
