Description

We are open to hiring someone with prior medical office administration experience or a new graduate of a Medical Office Administrative Assistant program.

Extensive on-site training will be provided - on-site supervision will be provided for several months, as required. Work responsibilities will be built up gradually as you get accustomed to your duties. You will eventually work independently, and unsupervised once training is complete.
