What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in medical assistant jobs.
- Active CMA, RMA, or CCMA certification from an accredited program
- Proficiency with an electronic health record system such as Epic or Athenahealth
- Demonstrated clinical skills including phlebotomy, injections, and vital signs
- High school diploma or GED plus completion of an accredited medical assistant program
- Current CPR and Basic Life Support certification
- One or more years of clinical or ambulatory care experience in a patient-facing role
Tips for Your Medical Assistant Job Search
Tailor your resume to clinical duties
List the specific procedures you've performed, such as phlebotomy, EKG, and vital signs, rather than generic duties. Hiring managers scan for hands-on clinical experience, so the more concrete your bullet points, the stronger your application.
Highlight your certification front and center
Put your CMA or RMA credential directly below your name on your resume. Many job listings filter candidates by certification status before a recruiter reads anything else, so burying it in the body costs you interviews.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists medical assistant openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Match your EHR experience to the posting
Check each listing for the specific EHR system the practice uses, whether that's Epic, Athenahealth, or eClinicalWorks, and call it out by name in your resume. Generic EHR experience reads weaker than a direct system match.
Prepare for skills-based screening questions
Many interviews for this role include scenario questions about patient prep, rooming workflows, or infection control protocols. Practice concise answers tied to real patient interactions you've handled, not textbook definitions of the steps involved.
Ask smart questions during your offer review
Before accepting, ask about patient volume per shift, the clinical-to-administrative task split, and continuing education support. These details reveal the day-to-day reality and help you compare offers beyond the basics.
Medical Assistant Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most medical assistants?
The companies hiring the most medical assistants right now include Banner Health, MainStreet Family Care, and Advocate Aurora Health, with the largest share of openings in Texas, California, and Arizona, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Multi-site health systems and large physician group practices typically post the highest volume of openings.
How many medical assistant jobs are remote?
About 6% of medical assistant openings are fully remote or hybrid as of September 2026, which is lower than most administrative roles because the position is heavily clinical. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote options are prior authorization, patient scheduling, and telehealth intake coordination.
How do you become a medical assistant?
Complete an accredited medical assistant program, which can be a certificate, diploma, or associate degree offered at community colleges and vocational schools. After finishing the program, sit for a national certification exam such as the CMA through AAMA or the RMA through AMT. Most employers require or strongly prefer certified candidates, and some states have additional registration requirements, so check your state's rules before applying.
Can you get hired as a medical assistant with little or no experience?
Yes, many employers will consider candidates who have completed an accredited program and hold a national certification, even without prior work experience. Externship hours completed during your program count as hands-on experience and should be listed on your resume with the setting and duties. Smaller independent practices and urgent care clinics are often more willing to hire new graduates than large health systems, making them a practical first target when you're starting out.
What does the medical assistant interview process look like?
Most medical assistant interviews start with a phone or video screen focused on your certification status, EHR familiarity, and availability. An in-person interview typically follows, often with the office manager or lead MA, and may include scenario questions about clinical procedures or patient interactions. Some practices add a brief skills demonstration, such as describing how you would room a patient or draw blood, before extending an offer.
Where can I find and apply to medical assistant jobs?
You can find and apply to medical assistant jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from physician offices, clinics, hospitals, and specialty practices across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your certification, experience, and location, then apply directly to each opening that fits.
