Position Details

Medical Assistant (MA) - Mercy Clinic Sleep Medicine, Southfork
  • Location: 12700 Southfork Road, Suite 280, St. Louis, MO 63128
  • Schedule: Monday-Friday | Full-Time | 40 Hours/Week | Day Shift
✅ No weekends, holidays, or overnight shifts ✅ Clinic hours are staffed on a rotating schedule of 7:30 AM - 4:00 PM and 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM. Team members are expected to be flexible and able to work either shift as needed. Why Join Our Team? Looking for a role that offers a consistent weekday schedule while allowing you to make a meaningful impact on patients' health and quality of life? At Mercy Clinic Sleep Medicine, you'll work alongside a dedicated team that helps patients identify and manage sleep-related conditions, including sleep apnea and other sleep disorders.

One of the most common misconceptions about this role is that you'll be assisting with overnight sleep studies. That's not the case! This clinic focuses on consultations, evaluations, patient education, and treatment planning.

Patients meet with our providers to discuss symptoms and determine whether a sleep study is needed. If testing is recommended, our team coordinates the order and next steps. Patients then return to the clinic to review results and discuss treatment options with the provider.

This role is ideal for Medical Assistants who enjoy patient interaction, care coordination, patient education, and building lasting relationships with patients throughout their care journey.
