Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Medical Assistant Jobs at University of Florida Jobs
Verify Your Credentials Match Florida Requirements
Florida requires Medical Assistants in academic health settings to hold CMA or RMA certification. Confirm your credentials are recognized by AMCA, AAMA, or AMT before applying, as University of Florida hiring teams screen for this early in the process.
Target UF Health Postings Over Campus Listings
University of Florida hires Medical Assistants through UF Health, its clinical network, not the main campus jobs portal. Searching UF Health Careers directly surfaces roles that are more likely to include sponsorship support than general university administrative postings.
Browse Open Roles Through Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter Medical Assistant openings at University of Florida by visa type. This saves time by surfacing only roles where sponsorship has been supported, so you're not applying blind to positions that won't move your immigration status forward.
Ask Recruiters About LCA Timing Before Accepting
For H-1B and E-3 hires, the employer must file a Labor Condition Application with the DOL before your start date. Ask the recruiter how far in advance they initiate this, since UF's HR processes for clinical roles can move slower than private employers.
Align OPT Start Date With Clinical Onboarding Cycles
UF Health runs structured onboarding cohorts for clinical staff. If you're on F-1 OPT, request your employment start date to match an upcoming cohort rather than a custom date, which reduces administrative friction and protects your authorized employment window.
Flag Dual-Intent Visas Early in Negotiations
If you're targeting a long-term path including EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship, raise this before signing your offer letter. University of Florida's international HR team handles PERM filings for clinical roles, but the process requires employer initiation well ahead of any filing deadline.

Find Medical Assistant at University of Florida JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does University of Florida sponsor H-1B visas for Medical Assistants?
Yes, University of Florida sponsors H-1B visas for Medical Assistant roles, particularly within UF Health. As a large academic medical institution, UF has an established international hiring process and works with immigration counsel to file petitions. Because H-1B requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation, your certification and the specific job duties in the posting both matter for eligibility.
How do I apply for Medical Assistant jobs at University of Florida?
Applications go through the UF Health Careers portal, not the main University of Florida employment site. Search by job title and filter for clinical roles within UF Health's network. You can also browse open Medical Assistant positions at University of Florida that have a visa sponsorship track record through Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa type so you can prioritize applications strategically.
Which visa types are commonly used for Medical Assistant roles at University of Florida?
University of Florida supports a range of visa categories for Medical Assistants, including H-1B, E-3 for Australian citizens, J-1 for exchange visitors, and F-1 OPT or CPT for recent graduates. TN visas are available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying occupations. For longer-term employment, EB-2 and EB-3 immigrant visa pathways are also supported through the PERM labor certification process.
What qualifications does University of Florida expect for Medical Assistant candidates?
UF Health typically requires a Medical Assistant certificate or associate degree from an accredited program, along with active CMA, RMA, or equivalent certification. Clinical experience in a hospital or outpatient setting strengthens your application. For sponsored candidates, your credential must be recognized by a U.S.-accredited body, and your degree field needs to align with the role's specialty occupation classification for H-1B or E-3 purposes.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for a Medical Assistant offer at University of Florida?
Timeline depends on the visa type. H-1B standard processing runs three to five months from petition filing, while premium processing through USCIS takes around 15 business days. E-3 visa interviews at Australian consulates currently book out two to six weeks. Factor in the DOL's LCA certification window of seven business days before any H-1B or E-3 petition can be filed, and plan your start date negotiations accordingly.
