About The Position
The MA Apprenticeship Program is a paid and benefitted full-time position. It begins with an accelerated 12-week training program delivered by the Dartmouth Health Career Institute (DHCI), in partnership with Colby-Sawyer College. Classes offered during the training program introduce the technical and professional competencies required of an MA and include: Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology, Medical Terminology, Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Communications for the Healthcare Professional, Medical Assistant Standards & Practices, Clinical Medical Assisting Lab, and Medical Assistant Practicum. Upon successful completion of these courses, trainees sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) Exam administered by the National Heathcareer Association (NHA) and then move into a Dartmouth Health Clinic to complete a 2,000-hour registered apprenticeship through the US Department of Labor. There is no out-of-pocket cost for those selected to participate in the program. Trainees are provided with all the basic materials to complete the education program, including textbooks, a set of scrubs, and a loaned laptop. Trainees will need access to reliable internet for out of classroom work. In addition to classroom instruction, trainees can expect a significant amount of homework and studying outside of the classroom. The course material is taught using a combination of in-person classroom instruction, online activities, skills labs, and shadowing. This posting is for the MA apprenticeship program taught in the Lebanon, NH classroom for clinics in the following locations: Dartmouth Hitchcock Clinics in Lebanon, Mt Ascutney Health Center, New London Hospital, Newport Health Center, Alice Peck Day, and Valley Regional Hospital.
