The Medical Assistant Training Program is a paid apprenticeship opportunity lasting approximately 7-8 months that is designed to provide our MA-Ts with the knowledge, education and skills to be successful in their careers as CMAs in the multiple clinic settings offered at St. Luke's.

The program is based on classroom time, continuing education, study time, and rotations through Family Practice, Internal Medicine and a Specialty clinic to offer a well-rounded experience.

This program is also designed to prepare MA-Ts to successfully take the certification exam. Now is the time to join a passionate, patient-focused team and start on the path of personal and professional growth in a rewarding and exciting industry.

If you have previous Medical Assistant experience or have graduated from a Medical Assistant school this program might not be for you. Please contact Jenn Sturman at sturmanje@slhs.org to learn about possible testing and credentialing options if you have these qualifications!

Required Criteria:

• Education:

• High School/GED Diploma

• Experience:

• A minimum of six (6) months of healthcare experience, including but not limited to: Patient Specialist, CNA, phlebotomy, EMT, dental assisting, pharmacy tech, etc.

• Direct patient care experience preferred

This is an entry-level MA position. No prior MA experience is required.

The MA-T will be oriented to skills and tasks within initial scope of practice (determined by experience/training level). On-the-job training will be provided as the MA supports the clinic, and four hours of paid study time will be provided each week. The MA will advance as competence increases with studies and hands-on experience. After approximately 7-8 months, the MA will sit for the credentialing exam, and be eligible for a CMA position to support our clinics in a Credentialed Medical Assistant role.

Additional details:

Individuals accepted into the MA-T program are hired as full time employees subject to the timeline of the program and a one year commitment in a CMA role thereafter. Transportation and flexibility will be required as MA-Ts do rotations throughout our the Magic Valley.
