Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program

Providing individuals with the unique opportunity to gain clinical experience while receiving their education.

The Martin's Point Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program allows individuals who are not currently enrolled in a degree program to participate in a clinical, patient-focused environment while enrolled in an accredited institution. No prior clinical experience is required.

At the conclusion of the program, all Medical Assistant Apprentices will be scheduled for an interview in consideration for a Medical Assistant position.
