At Banner - University Medical Group (BUMG), we're creating a world class medical organization that brings together a leadership team committed to a physician-focused structure, while navigating the challenges of moving from a volume-based to value-based health care system.

This position will be at the Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Institute and Concussion Clinic located at Banner University Medical Center in Phoenix.

Whether you have back pain, joint issues, torn ligaments or a complex fracture, we treat all injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Our doctors use advanced surgical and mínimally invasive techniques to reduce pain and get you moving.

As a Medical Assistant on this team, you will be an integral part of the patient's Banner experience looking to provide each person with the best customer service and patient care.

When assisting patients directly, you will be rooming patients, taking vitals, assisting with procedures, and updating patient electronic medical records accurately and timely.

When not providing direct patient care, you may also provide additional support to our office/administrative staff throughout the clinic. This could include answering phones, checking in patients, scheduling appointments, following up with referrals, ordering supplies, stocking rooms, etc. Uncertified Medical Assistants will be considered and will have 12 months to become nationally certified once employment begins.

Uncertified Medical Assistants will have access to Medical Assistant certification study material and Banner will pay for the cost of certification.

A passing score would result in a pay increase due to an MA's newly certified status.

Banner is also committed to your future and invested in furthering your education.

Medical Assistants have the opportunity to move up the Medical Assistant career ladder or sign up for tuition assistance to further advance their career.
