Medical Assisting Instructor – Put Your Clinical Experience to Work

(No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced Medical Assistant who’s ready for a change from the fast pace of daily patient care? Looking for a stable, meaningful role where you can share your knowledge without the physical demands of full-time clinical work?

This is your opportunity to stay in healthcare, inspire the next generation of Medical Assistants, and build a rewarding career in education.

We’re looking for skilled medical professionals — not career educators. If you know medical assisting, we’ll teach you how to teach.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Medical Assisting Instructor, you’ll bring real-world clinical experience into the classroom and lab, helping students connect textbook concepts to what actually happens in today’s healthcare environments.

You will:

  • Teach medical assisting concepts through classroom instruction, skills lab demonstrations, and hands-on training

  • Demonstrate clinical procedures such as vital signs, phlebotomy, injections, EKGs, infection control, specimen collection, and basic patient care techniques

  • Share real-world experiences, industry standards, and best practices from modern healthcare settings

  • Mentor students as they build technical skills, professionalism, and confidence in patient interaction

  • Prepare students for certification and entry-level Medical Assisting roles

  • Evaluate student performance and provide constructive, supportive feedback

  • Participate in paid instructor training and ongoing professional development

  • Work independently while supported by a collaborative academic and administrative team

No lesson plans from scratch. We provide curriculum, training, and instructional support.

Minimum Requirements

  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a Medical Assistant or nurse

  • High School Diploma or GED required

  • Graduate from a Medical Assisting or nursing program preferred

  • Current Medical Assistant certification (CMA, RMA, CCMA, or equivalent) or willingness to obtain at time of hire

  • Ability to use common software programs (MS Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Strong interpersonal and mentoring skills

Why This Role?

  • Formal and on-the-job training to transition into teaching

  • Opportunity to shape the next generation of healthcare professionals

  • Continue your career in healthcare without the physical demands of full-time clinical work

If you’re ready to step away from the exam room while staying in the profession you love, this could be the next rewarding chapter of your career!
