Healthcare support jobs hiring around Knoxville - first time posting

Several clinics and a hospital near Knoxville are hiring medical assistants, patient-care techs and schedulers. This is my first time dealing with any of this. Shifts range from mornings to overnight. Do any of these pay for certification?

I got into a patient-care role with no experience. They paid for my certification once I passed a background check.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
