**Position: Medical Assistant I/II - Valley Fever Research Team - Bilingual (English/Spanish) Preferred**
In 2020, the Valley Fever Institute opened its new state-of-the-art research and treatment facility. Designed as a patient-centered specialty care clinic, the Valley Fever Institute incorporates patient care, treatment, support services, education, and research at a single location. Many of the treatments offered at the Valley Fever Clinic are not readily available in most parts of the country, because of this, we have patients referred to us not only locally, but regionally, nationally, and internationally for specialized care.
Our research at the Valley Fever Institute is centered on treatments and diagnostics to provide improved outcomes for patients. We have extensive experience with clinical trials and research spanning more than 40 years as we have the largest population of patients with Valley Fever, which is needed to trial medications and treatments. Current research efforts include work to better understand why 40 percent of individuals become ill when they inhale a Valley Fever Spore, 60 percent of these patients are able to fight off the infection without ever knowing they were sick, and approximately one percent of infected individuals develop severe or life-threatening disease.
