Medical Assistant Apprentice - Portland Metro Area

The Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program is designed for candidates passionate about healthcare and eager to learn in a hands-on environment.  Apprentices will receive comprehensive training from experienced trainers in outpatient clinics. This intensive, tuition-free earn-to-learn program enables apprentices to earn a full-time wage while training to become a Medical Assistant. In addition to hands-on in-clinic training, apprentices are required to complete unpaid coursework outside of clinic time.
