Overview
This Certified Medical Assistant – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania role is ideal for an experienced CMA who prefers structure, clear workflows, and predictable days. You’ll support scheduled Compensation & Pension (C&P) exams for U.S. Veterans in a dedicated exam clinic—no treatment, prescribing, or ongoing primary care.

Based in Pittsburgh, this full-time position keeps a steady Monday–Friday, 8–5 schedule in a low-stress, process-driven setting. You’ll work closely with providers, help keep the clinic running smoothly, and ensure each Veteran is treated with respect and professionalism from check-in to checkout.
