Medical Assistant Training Program - 157157
At St. Luke’s, our Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs) are part of a compassionate team that values connection, excellence, and a positive, inclusive environment. As a Medical Assistant in Training (MA-T), you’ll gain the skills and experience needed for a meaningful career in healthcare—all while getting paid and making a difference in your community.
About the Role
This paid apprenticeship offers a direct pathway into a CMA career—no previous MA experience required. Over the course of 7–8 months, you’ll receive:
- On-the-job clinical training through rotations
- Classroom instruction and continuing education
- Four hours of paid study time each week
- Support and mentorship from experienced professionals
Participants will complete rotations at St. Luke’s clinics in Baker City, so transportation and schedule flexibility are essential. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will be eligible to sit for a national certification exam and transition into a full-time CMA role at St. Luke’s. Individuals accepted into the MA-T program are hired as full-time employees and are expected to remain with St. Luke’s in a CMA role for at least one year post-certification.
Requirements
- High School Diploma or equivalent
- Current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, or American Safety and Health Institute
- At least six (6) months of healthcare experience (e.g., CNA, EMT, phlebotomy, dental assisting, patient registration, or similar)
