Medical Assistant training will last approximately 12 months. Upon completion, Apprentices will become certified and transition into Medical Assistant roles within Oregon Medical Group (2-year service commitment after training is required).
The MA Apprentice will increasingly gain responsibility for providing assistance to the healthcare clinician by providing direct patient care. Training consists of 2,000 hours of on-the-job training, 410 hours of online coursework, and offsite lab days.

We believe everyone–of every race, gender, sexuality, age, location and income–deserves the opportunity to live their healthiest life. Today, however, there are still far too many barriers to good health which are disproportionately experienced by people of color, historically marginalized groups and those with lower incomes.
