About The Position
Sanford Health is hiring a Medical Assistant or LPN for its Aberdeen Clinic Urology department. The Medical Assistant works within the predefined scope-of-practice guidelines for the state where they practice.

The MA contributes data to licensed health care professionals and follows through on the patient's plan of care under provider direction. The role also involves communicating the provider's written care instructions to patients or caregivers. The position supports patients across the lifespan through preventive care, health maintenance, treatment, and follow-up as they move between care settings. Under the direct supervision of a person licensed to practice medicine, clinical duties may include obtaining vital signs, preparing patients for examinations, observing and reporting signs or symptoms, and performing point-of-care testing. The clinic offers opportunities to cross-train in different specialties and work alongside a provider to support patient care.
