About The Position

At Saint Alphonsus Health System, we are looking for people who are living out their calling. We want you to be passionate about coming to work, and challenged to achieve your potential. Living by these virtues, we pride ourselves on exceptional service and the highest quality of care. The Cancer Institute is now hiring for a team-oriented and compassionate part-time Medical Assistant to work in the Caldwell Chemo Infusion clinic! Position Summary & Highlights This position will support physicians, APPs, and infusion staff with rooming in the infusion room, patient scheduling for infusion/clinic visits, and other clinical/infusion support duties at the Caldwell Cancer Institute. The Saint Alphonsus Cancer Institute is proud to be the leading cancer program in Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Our committed team of oncologists and surgeons use advanced technology to provide the highest quality of care for all types of cancer, treating it at the earliest stage. We offer advanced diagnostic tools like low-dose CT and 3D imaging, precision radiation therapies, and integrated care plans and support programs. These help provide seamless care for patients and families. Saint Alphonsus also holds the region's largest clinical trials. What You Will Do: You will work in a small clinic environment with nurses and physicians focused on providing compassionate patient care. In addition to typical MA duties, you will take vitals, give injections, assist patients with moving within the clinic, and set up for procedures. You will also schedule patients for infusion and clinic visits and complete related paperwork, coordinate with pre-auth and dosimetry staff to schedule procedures, and provide comfort to patients who come for treatment. You will also work on the computer including items in the work queue, scheduling new patients, scheduling patients for procedures, related appointments, and follow up visits and complete related paperwork. An ideal candidate will be outgoing, compassionate, committed to the position longer-term, and patient with orientation and training for the role. You will be comfortable with computers and related technology given the scheduling system and charting. Experience with Epic is a plus. You will also desire being part of a strong team and enjoy connecting with patients and developing relationships with them. Work Schedule: 20 hours/week, 2 - 10-hour days, Tuesdays and Fridays, around the hours of 7:30am - 6:00pm. This position will train with our schedulers in our Nampa infusion room as there is limited space in Caldwell infusion to train at the nurse’s station. This will be about 7 weeks of training in Nampa. Clinic start and end time can vary based on infusion schedule. This position will NOT work weekends or major holidays. Orientation and Training: Orientation and training will require additional hours the first two weeks. If possible to flex up to 4 days a week through the entire orientation (8 weeks) would be ideal for better retention with complex scheduling. It will be at least 2-3 full days each week in the first two weeks, plus self-paced e-learning modules you will be required to complete during that time. Includes General Orientation, Epic Training, and Clinical Regulatory Training.
