This is an active, clinic-based role for people who want practical exposure to healthcare and are serious about building a future in the medical field.

The position is built for individuals who want real experience working with physicians and patients, while strengthening their résumé, developing practical clinical and administrative skills, and earning references that can support future applications to medical school, nursing, graduate studies, or other advanced programs.

Compensation is $17.60 per hour, with potential for additional earnings and growth over time. Benefits include vision, dental, medical, and paramedical coverage, available after 6 months of continuous full-time employment.

Who We Are

Appletree Medical Group is a multi-disciplinary healthcare organization focused on modernizing community healthcare in Canada. For more than two decades, the organization has supported Ontario family physicians and specialists, including providers in virtual care. The team is also expanding its impact internationally by helping communities strengthen and rebuild healthcare systems.

What You Will Do

Medical Assistants receive full training and handle both patient-facing and clinic support tasks. The role combines front-desk work, clinical preparation, record handling, and day-to-day clinic upkeep.

Training and Growth

After completing a 3-month probationary review, successful team members may be trained in specialty areas such as Travel Medicine, Allergy Testing, Foot Care, and Well-Baby programs.

Work Arrangement and Schedule

This is an onsite position in Ontario, not a remote role. Applicants should be prepared for a physically active workday, including being on their feet throughout the shift. The role suits recent graduates, students in their final semester who can commit to 3 to 5 full-day shifts per week, or individuals taking a gap year for work experience.

Candidates must be willing to work days, evenings, and weekends, and may need to travel between multiple clinic or office locations in the region.

Eligibility and Requirements

Applicants should have a background in customer service, ideally from fast-paced settings such as retail or hospitality. Prior medical experience is not required, but strong communication skills, reliability, flexibility, and a genuine interest in learning are important.

Candidates must live in Ontario and be permanently eligible to work in Canada as a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, or hold a work permit that remains valid for at least 12 months. Sponsorship is not available.

Education in a related field, equivalent work experience, or a relevant undergraduate degree is considered beneficial.

Hiring Process

The selection process includes an application review, an online self-recorded pre-screen interview, a group interview, and an in-person interview with the hiring manager. The employer emphasizes fairness, equity, and diversity throughout hiring.

Accessibility

Appletree Medical Group is committed to inclusive hiring and can provide reasonable accommodation for candidates with disabilities during the application or interview process.
