Clinical Medical Assistant (40%) The Clinical Medical Assistant supports providers in the administration of patient care within an orthopedic clinic. Responsibilities include assisting with clinical procedures, preparing patients for examination, and performing select administrative tasks to maintain efficient clinic operations. Coverage Expectations When the assigned physician is out of the office, the ATC Physician Extender/Clinical Medical Assistant is expected to first offer coverage to the designated physician group on those Physician Extender coverage dates.

Administrative Support – Manage patient records, schedule follow-ups, process referrals, and respond to patient messages in the EMR system. Patient Safety & Compliance – Follow HIPAA regulations, maintain confidentiality, and adhere to safety and infection control protocols. An individual in this position must be able to perform the essential duties and responsibilities listed above successfully. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position. The above list reflects the general details necessary to describe the principle and essential functions of the position and shall not be construed as the only duties that may be assigned for the position.
