Candidates typically complete an accredited medical assistant program at a community college or vocational school in Pennsylvania, then sit for a certification exam before applying to clinical roles.
How much do clinical medical assistants make in Pennsylvania?
Clinical medical assistants in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $43,920 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $36,810 for the lowest 10% to over $48,500 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical medical assistants in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring clinical medical assistants in Pennsylvania right now include UPMC, Penn State Health, and Geisinger, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Pennsylvania's large integrated health systems and independent physician practice groups generate the most consistent volume of clinical medical assistant openings throughout the year.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most clinical medical assistant jobs?
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Hershey have the most clinical medical assistant openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia leads because of its dense concentration of academic medical centers and multi-specialty outpatient clinics, while Pittsburgh's strength reflects UPMC's extensive ambulatory network, and Allentown draws volume from the rapidly growing Lehigh Valley Health Network and surrounding regional practices.
Are there remote clinical medical assistant jobs in Pennsylvania?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of clinical medical assistant openings tied to Pennsylvania are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, since the role is fundamentally hands-on and patient-facing. The portions of the work most likely to shift remote are administrative tasks such as prior authorization support, patient phone triage, or medical records coordination within hybrid practice models.
How can I get hired as a clinical medical assistant in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing an accredited medical assistant program at a Pennsylvania community college, such as Community College of Philadelphia or CCAC, which often includes an externship placement at a local clinic or health system. UPMC and Penn Medicine both run new-graduate orientation tracks for clinical medical assistants entering ambulatory settings. Candidates coming from adjacent roles like patient care technician, medical receptionist, or phlebotomy technician are frequently considered, and holding a CMA or RMA credential significantly improves hiring odds even without direct experience.
