At most medical assistant jobs, the MA who can room a patient earns about the same as the MA who can assist on a surgical case. Here, your pay depends on what you can do, and we'll teach you a lot.

Altamonte Dermatology and Maitland Dermatology are a two-office practice in Central Florida. We provide medical, surgical and cosmetic dermatology, including skin cancer care, lasers and photodynamic therapy. We're a small team, so you work closely with our providers, and your work shows.

Two kinds of people do well here

If you're building a long-term career as a Medical Assistant

  • A published skills ladder. Your evaluations score dozens of specific skills: rooming, scribing, local anesthesia, surgical assisting, suturing, laser and PDT, patch testing, prior authorizations and more. Each skill you master raises your hourly rate. You never have to wait out a calendar year for a raise.
  • Your experience counts from day one. Your starting rate includes credit for your past years in dermatology and as an MA.
  • Your rate never goes down.
  • Leadership roles that pay more: Clinical Training Specialist, OSHA Safety Coordinator, HIPAA Compliance Officer, Laser Safety Officer and Biomedical Equipment Technician.
  • Paid time off that grows each year: from 5 days in year one up to 22 days a year. You can carry over up to 200 unused hours.

If you're headed to PA school, nursing school or medical school

  • Hands-on patient care experience: consents, anesthesia, wound care, procedures and patient education, not just clerical work.
  • You scribe alongside our providers and learn the reasoning behind each diagnosis and treatment plan.
  • You'll see a wide range of dermatology: skin cancer, surgery, lasers, patch testing and specialty medications.
  • Our providers write recommendation letters for team members who earn them.
  • We ask for about a two-year commitment, and we're open to talking about it. Our training is thorough, and we want you here long enough to get the most out of it.

What you'll do

  • Patient care: room patients, review procedure consents, explain procedures and educate patients on their skin conditions and medications.
  • Procedures: prepare and give local anesthetic, set up trays, assist with in-office surgery, dress wounds, remove sutures, and decontaminate and sterilize instruments.
  • Scribing in EMA (ModMed): take histories, reconcile medications, and enter prescriptions, lab orders and referrals accurately.
  • Lab and follow-up: label specimens and fill out requisitions, call patients with biopsy and lab results, and handle refills, specialty pharmacy requests and prior authorizations.
  • Front desk as needed: verify insurance and eligibility, and schedule appointments.
  • Keep exam and procedure rooms stocked.

What we're looking for

  • Required: reliability, attention to detail, and real care for patients. In clinical work, small mistakes matter.
  • Certification is not required. We train you on our procedures.
  • Preferred: dermatology experience, EMA/ModMed experience, and fluent Spanish (paid extra).
  • Recent MA or pre-health graduates with clinical training are welcome.
  • Comfortable learning new software. We use modern tools across the practice.

Pay and benefits

  • $20–26+/hour. Pay is set by a skills-based evaluation at 90 days and at least once a year after that, plus credit for experience and extra pay for leadership roles.
  • 8 paid holidays.
  • PTO that grows from 5 to 22 days a year, with carryover.
  • Health insurance with part of the cost paid by the practice, for anyone working 20+ hours a week. Dental and vision are also offered, with premiums paid pre-tax.
  • Paid training. Continuing education support for pre-approved courses.
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday
    • Altamonte Springs: 7:45 AM – 5:00 PM
    • Maitland: 7:15 AM – 4:00 PM
