Position Summary

Windsor Heart Institute is seeking a reliable, efficient, and patient-focused Clinical Assistant to support a busy outpatient cardiology practice.

The objective is to ensure that each patient’s history, preliminary documentation, relevant results, and draft assessment and plan are organized so the cardiologist can focus directly on practicing medicine.

This position is suitable for candidates with a strong clinical foundation, including graduates of nursing or medical programs from Canada or any other country. Cardiology experience is an asset but is not required, as comprehensive training and mentorship will be provided.
