  • Current Medical Assistant certification/registration (or eligibility), as required by state or employer standards
  • Current BLS (Basic Life Support) or CPR certification, or ability to obtain within required timeframe
  • Strong communication skills in English, both verbal and written
  • Excellent customer service skills and a professional, compassionate demeanor with patients and families
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced clinical environment
  • Flexibility to work an hourly, per diem schedule, including variable days and shifts based on clinic needs
