Team Collaboration & Cross-Coverage
- Work in lockstep with Surgeons, Physician Assistants (PAs), and the Lead MA to maintain an excellent standard of care.
- Actively provide "cross-coverage" support for teammates during high-volume periods, gaps in scheduling, or staff vacations.
Position Requirements
- Certification: Must hold an active Washington State Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) credential.
- Experience: Minimum of 1 year of recent clinical experience. Specialization in Orthopedics or Interventional Pain Management is a significant plus.
- Clinical Readiness: Candidates must currently be active in the medical assisting field with no significant recent gaps in clinical employment.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency with AthenaHealth EMR is highly preferred.
Desired Soft Skills
- Initiative: A true "go-getter" who anticipates clinic needs and handles tasks proactively without needing to be prompted.
