This is an entry-level MA position. No prior MA experience is required. The MA-T will be oriented to skills and tasks within initial scope of practice (determined by experience/training level). On-the-job training will be provided as the MA supports the clinic, and four hours of paid study time will be provided each week. The MA will advance as competence increases with studies and hands-on experience.
After approximately 7-8 months, the MA will sit for the credentialing exam, and be eligible for a CMA position to support our clinics in a Credentialed Medical Assistant role. Additional details: Individuals accepted into the MA-T program are hired as full time employees subject to the timeline of the program and a one year commitment in a CMA role thereafter. Transportation and flexibility will be required as MA-Ts do rotations.
