Sixteen medical assistant apprentices were recently hired by Esperanza Health Center, Jefferson Hospital, and Nemours Children’s Hospital for on-the-job training while taking classes at Drexel University as part of their inaugural Certified Clinical Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program. This program creates a pathway for those who are underrepresented from the local community to obtain quality careers in health care. Drexel will be recruiting for the next cohort in Spring 2025 and hopes to add additional health care industry partners across the state. If you are interested in connecting with Drexel to explore becoming a clinical site, reach out to Caitlin Wilkinson, Co-Director of the Pennsylvania Primary Care Career Center.
