Re: On-Call Medical Assistant Positions

you say no experience and than you ask for 9 months experience

sounds like another B-S job posting to me

Re: On-Call Medical Assistant Positions

It says must have gone thru an approved medical assistant program

or

have 9 months job related experience

Please do not hire "off the street". This is one complaint the medical field has about MAs.
This does a dis-service to everyone who went to school
and passed the national cert exam.

Only hire Certified Medical Assistants.

Re: On-Call Medical Assistant Positions

The posting says that you must have gone through an accredited program OR have 9 months of work experience. We don't hire anyone off the street. Obviously to be an MA you must have the proper training. All I'm saying is that we will place candidates that have had school and an externship, but no prior job as a paid MA.
