The role available within Wilmington Health is that of a Certified Medical Assistant (CMA). This position is vital to the smooth operation of the clinical area and the delivery of direct patient care. The CMA works under the supervision of Physicians, Advanced Clinical Providers, Registered Nurses, or department managers, providing essential support in both clinical and administrative capacities. Tasks range from preparing patients for examinations to administering injections and medications, assisting with minor procedures and emergencies, and maintaining accurate medical records via Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems.

In addition to clinical duties, the Certified Medical Assistant also undertakes front office responsibilities, such as acting as a receptionist, performing secretarial tasks, communicating with insurance companies, and coordinating prescriptions. This role requires excellent communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to multitask efficiently in a dynamic healthcare environment. The CMA is also responsible for patient education, clarifying treatment plans and medication instructions to ensure patients understand their care requirements.

Wilmington Health emphasizes the importance of certification and training in this role, requiring the candidate to have an active CMA or RMA certification and BLS/CPR certification as a minimum. The ideal candidate will have completed an accredited Associates Degree program in Medical Assisting or an equivalent CMA program, with clinical experience considered a plus. The position demands physical stamina, as it involves standing, walking, sitting, and occasionally lifting equipment or supplies.

Working at Wilmington Health offers an opportunity to be part of a deeply rooted healthcare provider with a strong community focus and a commitment to quality and innovation. The Certified Medical Assistant plays a crucial role in upholding the organization’s standards by supporting the medical team, assisting patients, and ensuring clinical operations run smoothly.
