Schedule (These hours could potentially change depending on the needs of the office)

This is a part-time position only. Please do not apply if you are seeking full-time employment. This requires approximately 2 weeks of paid training at about 20-25 hours a week. Serious inquiries only. We do not want to take the time to train an employee for 2 weeks for them to decide they want FT or this is no longer what they want to pursue.

• Tuesday: 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
• Wednesday (Surgical Day): Currently no hours but this is subject to change.

Note: Hours may vary slightly based on patient needs as far as start times and end times. If the physician is out of the office (rare), hours may be reduced, though occasional administrative hours may be offered.

Additional Expectations

• This is a shared position with another Medical Assistant and you both have part-time hours. This job will not turn into a FT position. If you are seeking a FT position PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
• Flexibility is essential — you must be able to cover shifts in the event of an emergency
• On rare occasions, this may require working both your shift and a coworker’s shift on the same day
• Dependability is critical, as the physician requires assistance at all times
