Medical Assistant Careers

Be a valued member of a great team

Henry Ford Health offers a wide variety of settings and locations for medical assistants (MAs) to build a satisfying career. MAs work closely with our physicians, advanced practice providers and nurses to provide family-centered care in more than 250 clinics and medical centers, including new facilities in Chelsea, Plymouth and Royal Oak.

We appreciate our MAs

As a Henry Ford MA, you will provide direct patient care and administrative duties that keep the office running smoothly and efficiently. After a patient registers for an appointment, you will likely be the first person they see, explaining treatment procedures and preparing them for examinations. With every patient encounter, you can be proud of your ability to ease anxieties and elevate the patient’s overall experience.

Because of your essential role as an MA on our team, you will be highly appreciated and supported by providers and coworkers.
