Medical Assistant

Zarminali Pediatrics is building the nation’s leading pediatric multispecialty group, focused on supporting families to shape healthy futures for their children — from birth through adulthood — by completely transforming the way pediatric care is delivered nationwide. We are tackling today’s challenges of increased administrative burden on clinicians and a siloed approach to pediatric care through intentional design of care delivery, enhanced by leading technology and collaborative, expert care teams.

Our name, inspired by our founder’s daughter’s name — Zarmina — means “something that is more precious to you than gold”. We couldn’t think of anything that better represents the way parents and caregivers hold the relationship with their children as the most valuable gift, and how we at Zarminali approach care for each child with equal reverence.

We strive for a healthier future for pediatric patients and a happier future for pediatric clinicians nationwide, and we are looking for people to join us in achieving this vision. If you are eager to join a growth stage company and be part of the early team that is shaping the foundation of both the company and the delivery of pediatric care, then this opportunity might be for you!
