Apply to become a Medical Assistant in Training (MiT) with Podiatry!

A medical assistant provides in-department clinical support, with responsibilities that include rooming patients, collecting patient information, preparing patients for examination, assisting with procedures, and helping with overall delivery of compassionate patient care.

As a MiT, you will:

• Earn as you learn: All MiT’s will be full-time, benefit-eligible employees with a non-negotiable $18.00 hourly pay rate and receive a $1,500 bonus (paid out in two installments)

• Receive hands-on education: In the program, you will complete 12 weeks of on-site coursework and skills lab before your 160-hour clinical rotation.

• MA credential: Upon completion of coursework and clinical rotation, you’ll be primed to tackle the national certifying test and obtain the CCMA credential through NHA.  After successfully passing the test, you are seamlessly transitioned to a MA-R 2 role within Podiatry.

• ability to communicate and collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Consistent, dependable, and predictable attendance is crucial in helping us fulfill our mission of providing high-quality, compassionate care. We require our employees to adhere to our attendance standards, as frequent deviations make it difficult to provide care for our patients and support our coworkers.  Vacation time will not be permitted during the didactic/coursework weeks of the program and absences may result in dismissal from the program.
