A medical secretary is a support staff position within a clinical setting. Medical secretaries typically work in physician's offices, clinics or hospitals. Expected duties include fielding calls, setting up appointments, checking referrals, dictation and medical bill processing. If you are interested in this type of job, you can use several different resources to find openings in the field.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check with local hospitals and doctor offices to see if they are looking to hire a medical secretary. You can usually find a cluster of physician offices located within a few miles of a hospital. Submit your resume to these local medical offices first to find a medical secretary job.

  2. Step 2

    Attend a career fair for individuals in the health-care industry. Career fairs are a chance for different medical professionals to recruit staff, including medical receptionists. Putting America Back to Work is one career fair series that has both general and health-care career events scheduled nationally.

  3. Step 3

    Browse the classified ads of your local newspaper. Since the health-care industry is massive, your paper may have a classified section devoted exclusively to medical jobs, including listings for medical secretaries.

  4. Step 4

    Use a career search engine that has a section that displays all available medical secretary positions open in your area. Yahoo! HotJobs allows you to change your location to view classified ads for medical secretary jobs within your area.

  5. Step 5

    Log on a website that only posts medical receptionist positions. Even if you look within the medical secretary section of career search engines, you may still come across jobs unrelated to the field. A site like Medical Secretary Jobs ensures that you are browsing want ads specific to the industry.
