Medical Assistant - Training Opportunity

At Hawai‘i Pacific Health, our mission is to create a healthier Hawai‘i. We believe that working together, we can make the greatest impact on individuals, families and our communities. Anchored by our four medical centers—Kapi‘olani, Pali Momi, Straub and Wilcox—as well as more than 70 convenient locations statewide, Hawai'i Pacific Health is uniquely positioned to transform health care as we know it today.

Our network of doctors and specialists provides coordinated care that is among the best in the nation. We are partnering with physicians, health plans and the community to improve the health of our population. Our health care teams are built and centered around patients, focusing on prevention, early intervention, monitoring and regular check-ups.

As part of an ongoing commitment to education and community involvement, Hawai‘i Pacific Health offers programs to train individuals for careers in the health care field. We are currently looking for individuals who share the same passion about our mission and have an interest in training to become a Medical Assistant.

The Medical Assistant Program will be a total of eight months in duration. During the first seven months, participants will work as a Clinic Aide while completing didactic and lab sessions. Following successful completion of the didactic and lab sessions, participants will complete the 160-hour internship. After the internship component is completed, participants will be able to sit for the Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) certification exam through the National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Upon obtaining certification, program participants will be eligible to transfer into a Medical Assistant position. This program will require a two-year work commitment upon successful completion. There will be no time away (PTO) allowed or granted during the training program. Participants must be available to rotate to evening shifts and any shift length (4, 8, 10, or 12 hours) for the duration of the training.
