Medical Assistant Apprenticeship
Singing River Healthcare Academy’s Medical Assistant Apprenticeship combines classroom study, clinical training, mentoring, and work-based learning to prepare our apprentices for professional certification and their healthcare career.
What is a Medical Assistant (MA)?
Medical Assistants (MAs) play a key role in keeping healthcare practices and departments running smoothly. MAs generally perform both administrative and clinical tasks in order to support the care team that they are a part of. MAs often greet patients and ready them for examination or treatment by a physician or other provider.
Through Singing River’s Medical Assistant (MA) Apprenticeship program you will complete classroom and clinical learning and get 18 months of on-the-job training in preparation for professional certification as a Medical Assistant (MA).
Medical Assistant Career Path
Because Medical Assistants (MAs) fulfill a wide array of responsibilities, beginning your healthcare career as a Medical Assistant Apprentice can help pave the way to a variety of career tracks within medicine. MA Apprentices who uncover a passion for administrative tasks and record-keeping may pursue a career in clinical support, whereas those who favor patient care activities may want to become a Certified Medical Assistant or explore nursing roles like becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Registered Nurse (RN).
