SHARE is excited to announce that UMass Memorial has officially began recruiting for the next cohort of the Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program.
The program began last year, and has already been a great success. You may remember the celebration in honor of the pioneering first student cohort, whose participants continue to demonstrate the value of the earn-and-learn model. SHARE member Maggie Warfield said of the experience, “The Medical Assistant Apprenticeship program was simply amazing. UMass Memorial provided me career growth at a time in my life when I could not afford to further my education. I am so grateful to feel fulfilled daily by providing compassionate care to our patients everyday.”
