Building rewarding healthcare careers in Medical Assisting and Nursing Assistance

 

Medical Assistants (MAs)

Medical assistants play a vital role in healthcare, supporting both administrative and clinical functions to ensure smooth and efficient patient care. They prepare patients, assist during examinations, and handle essential office tasks. This rapidly growing career offers strong opportunities for advancement in the healthcare field.

Programs:

  • Medical Assistant Bootcamp: A six-week accelerated training program at Lincoln Technical Academy/Lodi Adult School designed to prepare participants for certification through the California Certifying Board for Medical Assistants (CCMBA).
  • MA Worker Incentives Program: In partnership with select local employers, this program offers retention bonuses, certification stipends, and other incentives to support Medical Assistants in their careers.
  • MA Program Expansion: Ongoing efforts to expand training capacity and meet growing workforce demand.

Programs:

  • San Joaquin Delta College CNA Program Expansion: Strengthening clinical training through partnerships with Skilled Nursing Facilities and Adult Schools to better prepare students for success.
  • CNA Programs at Stockton and Lodi Adult Schools: Community-based programs supporting entry into healthcare careers.
