Now accepting applications for medical assistant apprenticeship program

Registration is now open for the next cohort in CoxHealth’s medical assistant apprenticeship program.

The program gives participants a salary while attending classes, tuition for the classes themselves – and the chance at a job after successfully completing the program. Up to 20 individuals will be accepted in the upcoming cohort, which begins in January 2022.

Based in Springfield, the program features classes at OTC and time spent training at CoxHealth facilities, and is designed to help people enter the health care profession. Medical assistants are trained in multiple skills, including clinical and for the front office, and work in clinics, urgent cares and physician offices.

The 16-week program is open to anyone with a high school diploma or equivalent, and the application deadline for the upcoming cohort is Nov. 5.
