Intermountain Health offers full-time, paid medical assistant apprenticeships in Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Intermountain Health Medical Assistant (MA) Apprenticeship program is a 10 month-long, full-time, paid Apprenticeship training program. Medical Assistants are trained professionals who prepare patients for exams, take medical histories, and perform basic lab tests.

Intermountain Health’s MA Apprenticeship Program has 3 months of classroom instruction and 7 months of on-the-job learning, under the supervision of a preceptor (trainer), at an Intermountain Health clinic.

Education topics will include anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, medication math, pharmacology, clinical skills, and administrative skills. Apprentices will receive a full-time competitive salary and benefit package, including health and education benefits upon hire date as an Apprentice.

After successful completion of the program, the Apprentice will interview for a permanent Medical Assistant role with Intermountain Health. As part of the program, apprentices will also sit for the nationally-recognized Medical Assistant examination and receive credentials of CCMA after passing examination.

MA Apprenticeship candidates need to be 18 years of age, require a high school diploma or GED, proficiency in English (speaking, reading, writing), exemplary customer service skills, and embody the Intermountain values of integrity, trust, excellence, accountability, mutual respect, and safety.
