Minnesota Training Partnership in partnership with OPEIU Local 12 is preparing underserved groups for high-wage, high-demand Clinic Assistant, or medical office union jobs. Clinic Assistants are responsible for providing administrative and clinical support in a medical clinic. The primary duties of a Clinic Assistant include greeting patients, scheduling appointments, answering phones, and maintaining patient records. This is an entry-level position that requires strong organizational and communication skills, as well as a willingness to work in a fast-paced environment. A successful Clinic Assistant should be able to multitask, prioritize tasks, and work well under pressure. A high school diploma or equivalent is required. These union jobs pay well, key components of the short-term program include culturally responsive services, and strong connections to our union and employer partners.
