Certified Medical Assistant
About The Position
At Valley Clinics, we believe great healthcare starts with a great team. We are looking for a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) who takes pride in their work, cares about patients, pays attention to the details, and understands that a successful clinic depends on everyone working together. This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety. One moment you may be rooming a patient; the next you may be performing an EKG, administering a vaccine, processing a specimen, helping with a refill, or solving a problem that keeps the clinic moving. If you are looking for a position where you can make a difference every day—not just check boxes—this may be the right fit for you. This position is based at our Albany office. Because Valley Clinics also operates in Corvallis and Salem, occasional cross-coverage at another location may be needed for vacations, planned absences, or temporary staffing needs. We value flexibility and team members who are willing to help support another office when needed.
