Job Description
About Us We are a private allergy and immunology practice serving patients in Washington County and the greater Portland metro area. Our focus is on providing personalized, high-quality care for patients with allergies, asthma, and immune system conditions. We are a small, close-knit team where you will work directly with the physician every day — not get lost in a large hospital system. The Role We are hiring a Medical Assistant who wants to do real clinical work in a specialty setting.
This is a hands-on role:
you will room patients, perform allergy skin testing, administer immunotherapy injections, assist with procedures, run spirometry, and handle the administrative tasks that keep a busy practice moving. We are open to two types of candidates:- Experienced Medical Assistants looking for a specialty practice with more clinical depth than a typical primary care office. If you're tired of rotating through generic vitals-and-rooming and want to build real expertise, this is your role.
- Recent college graduates pursuing medical school, PA school, or another health professional program who want meaningful clinical experience — not just shadowing.
- Room patients, take and record vital signs, and document medical histories in the EHR
- Perform and read allergy skin prick testing and intradermal testing under physician direction
- Prepare and administer allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) per physician-approved protocols
- Monitor patients for adverse reactions during and after injections or testing
- Perform spirometry (pulmonary function testing) and other point-of-care diagnostics
- Assist the physician during examinations and minor procedures
- Educate patients on allergen avoidance, medication use, and immunotherapy schedules as directed by the physician Administrative responsibilities:
- Schedule patient appointments, including allergy testing and immunotherapy visits
- Manage prior authorizations for medications, biologics, and allergy serum
- Handle incoming patient calls and route clinical questions to the physician
- Maintain accurate and timely documentation in the electronic health record

- Graduation from an accredited Medical Assistant program (CAAHEP or ABHES), current national certification (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or equivalent), or at least 2 years of clinical medical assistant experience in a physician's office Path 2 — College graduate:
- Bachelor's degree (completed or in progress with expected graduation before start date) with a strong academic background, preferably in biology, chemistry, or another science All candidates must have:
- Comfort with needles and injections — this role involves daily allergy shots and skin testing
- Strong attention to detail, especially around medication preparation and patient monitoring
- Reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work independently within a small team
- Basic computer skills and willingness to learn our EHR system Preferred but not required:
- Experience in an allergy, immunology, pulmonology, or ENT practice
- Previous clinical experience — whether as an MA, scribe, EMT, CNA, or through clinical volunteering and shadowing
- Familiarity with allergy skin testing, immunotherapy protocols, or spirometry
- Current BLS/CPR certification (we can help you obtain this if needed)

- Comprehensive, hands-on training in allergy and immunology — allergy testing, immunotherapy, spirometry, and more

- A supportive, small-team environment where your work directly impacts patient outcomes
- Opportunities to grow your clinical skills and build deep expertise in a medical specialty For pre-professional candidates: We are happy to provide a strong letter of recommendation for medical school or graduate program applications for employees in good standing.
