About this role
Ascension's pediatric orthopedics team in Indianapolis is seeking a certified medical assistant to support clinical operations in a specialized practice. You'll work directly with providers and nursing staff, handling both patient-facing and administrative tasks—from taking vital signs and preparing exam rooms to documenting encounters, transcribing orders, and managing supplies. The role blends clinical responsibilities with clerical work, requiring someone comfortable moving between direct patient interaction and behind-the-scenes coordination.
To qualify, you'll need BLS certification (obtained within your first month) and either a Certified Medical Assistant credential or a Registered Medical Assistant specialization, both required within 90 days of hire. A high school diploma or one year of relevant job experience meets the baseline education requirement, though prior medical office experience is preferred. This is a full-time, in-office position—ideal for someone with medical assisting credentials or active pursuit of them who wants to specialize in pediatric orthopedics within a large nonprofit health system.
