Job description

Medical Assistant

The academic medicine difference. At the center of Banner University Medicine is patient care, research, and teaching. Join a nationally recognized health care leader and experience the future of medicine today.

The Banner University Heart Institute cares for a high volume of heart disease patients throughout the state of Arizona and the southwest.

Medical Assistants have the opportunity to move up the Medical Assistant career ladder or sign up for tuition assistance to further advance their career.
