Clinic Assistant, Dual Trainee

Pediatric Clinic Assistant

Children's Minnesota is one of the largest pediatric health systems in the United States and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to children, from before birth through young adulthood. An independent and not-for-profit system since 1924, Children's Minnesota is one system serving kids throughout the Upper Midwest at two free-standing hospitals, nine primary care clinics, multiple specialty clinics and seven rehabilitation sites. As The Kids Experts in our region, Children's Minnesota is regularly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top children's hospital.

At Children's Minnesota, we're focused on a vision to become every family's essential partner in raising healthier children. We strive each day to create a work environment where professionals can come to bring this vision to life. In addition to hospitals in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, Children's has pediatric, specialty and rehab clinics throughout the metro area. Our Clinics not only offer a small office atmosphere; they also provide you the opportunity to become a valued member of a larger prominent Healthcare system.

This position exists to assist the providers and staff in the clerical and patient care aspects of the pediatric clinic. The Dual Trainee Program is a grant funded program through the state of Minnesota where an individual works as Clinic Assistant (CA) while completing a Medical Assistant program through a school chosen by Children's.
