About The Position

At the University of Arkansas Pat Walker Health Center, you’ll join a mission-driven team dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of a vibrant campus community. Our ambulatory care environment offers a predictable schedule while still providing meaningful, hands-on patient care. This position follows a Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. schedule, with no nights, no weekends, and no on-call shifts. The clinic is closed on all major holidays, supporting a consistent schedule and strong work-life balance. The Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or Medical Assistant (MA) works under the supervision of licensed nurses and medical providers to deliver direct patient care, either in person or via telehealth, and support clinic operations. Responsibilities include obtaining patient vital signs, assisting providers, performing point-of-care testing (POC), and other duties assigned. This position is designated as a remote essential role and requires availability during campus closures or emergencies. In such events, a dedicated team of medical professionals will be on standby to provide care through telehealth services, if deemed appropriate. All telehealth services will comply with Arkansas State Medical Board regulations and consider the nature of the medical issue, patient preference, and available resources. All staff are required to take their UA-issued laptops home nightly during the work week and each weekend to ensure continuity of care and access to telehealth services during unexpected closures. Regular, reliable, and non-disruptive attendance is an essential job duty, as is the ability to create and maintain collegial, harmonious working relationships with others.
