The emotionally taxing and demanding nature of healthcare jobs often drives professionals to seek other opportunities. High turnover also affects the morale of remaining staff, increases workload, and can lead to a decline in patient care quality. - January 17, 2024 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Allied Health Careers](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-health-careers) - [CCMA](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/ccma) - [Professional Skills](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/professional-skills) - [healthcare training](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/healthcare-training) - [certified clinical medical assistants](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/certified-clinical-medical-assistants) # [Three Ways to Prepare Medical Assistant Students for the Workforce](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/best-workforce-training) Preparing students for today’s healthcare workforce goes beyond basic clinical and classroom instruction. Healthcare training encompasses so much more than thoroughly preparing allied healthcare students for their careers. The best clinical knowledge is essential of course, but they also need hard-to-teach skills like teamwork and communication, not to mention resources on how even to FIND the right job and prepare for interviews.  - August 16, 2022 | - Karen Schotanus - [Medical Assistants](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/medical-assistants) - [Career Pathways](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/career-pathways) - [Allied Health Careers](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-health-careers) # [Employer Must-Do's to Recruit & Retain Quality Medical Assistants](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/employer-musts-to-retain-mas) *Editor's Note: This is the last in a series of three articles focused on medical assistant recruitment and retention. * The previous two blogs in this series focused on [How to Overcome MA Staffing Shortages](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/beating-ma-burnout) and [How NHA is Addressing the MA Skills Gap](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/nha-skills-gap-solution). However, if Medical Assistants (MAs) are overworked due to staffing issues and are experiencing burnout, employers are at risk of high turnover rates and cannot retain qualified help. It’s NHA’s business to speak to allied health workers, employers, and physicians to better understand how we can help. We consistently hear that physicians cannot do their jobs well without highly qualified MAs. They’re described as vital care team members who promote efficiency, joy, and successful clinical outcomes. - January 13, 2022 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Medical Assistants](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/medical-assistants) - [Career Pathways](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/career-pathways) - [Allied Health Careers](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-health-careers) # [MA SkillsBuilder™: Clinical — How NHA is Addressing the MA Skills Gap](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/nha-skills-gap-solution) *Editor's Note: This is the second in a three-part series focusing on MA SkillsBuilder™: Clinical.* - November 22, 2021 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Medical Assistants](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/medical-assistants) - [Career Pathways](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/career-pathways) - [Allied Health Careers](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-health-careers) # [Beating Burnout: How to Overcome MA Staffing Shortages](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/beating-ma-burnout) Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of three articles focused on medical assistant recruitment and retention. - November 9, 2021 | - National Healthcareer Association - [Allied Health Careers](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/allied-health-careers) - [Industry News](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/industry-news) - [Candidate tools](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/tag/candidate-tools) # [The 2026 List of Healthcare Awareness Dates](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/the-ultimate-list-of-healthcare-awareness-dates)   - January 26, 2018 | - Jessica Salley [All posts](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/all) ![email](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/3842749/hubfs/email.png?width=100&height=104&name=email.png "email") ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG [![215-NHA-HS-Q126-industry-outlook-landing-page-cta](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1430252/interactive-162299408719.png)](https://info.nhanow.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKer%2BOe8qT%2FTrPreF96MH52qTT2lMYsL93ZPun2EG7XL3gR6scBKxcU1z%2BhRLZa7rj8z2n9t4M1LUIVRoaDMPTc73LYEEXuGopz7fqMopTIXPRge5Uh8FHJnQRKgRwW2dBVwgZwqd9qRkfPO%2FZTAqcVLmEA8wc3ZiCn42zdhwhhr%2Bw%3D&webInteractiveContentId=162299408719&portalId=1430252) ## Most Popular - Aug 25, 2026, 3:20:50 PM | - National Healthcareer Association ### [Teaching Students to Think, Not Just Prompt: AI Best Practices for Allied Health Educators](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/teaching-students-to-think-not-just-prompt-ai-best-practices-for-allied-health-educators) - Jul 27, 2026, 1:18:08 PM | - John Wolfe ### [How Allied Health Roles are Evolving to Meet Healthcare Demand](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/how-allied-health-roles-responsibilities-are-evolving-to-meet-healthcare-demand) - Jun 22, 2026, 3:07:58 PM | - John Wolfe ### [From Classroom to Clinic: How NHA SkillsBuilder Learning Resources Close the Gap and Keep Students Coming Back](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog/from-classroom-to-clinic-how-nha-skillsbuilder-learning-resources-close-the-gap-and-keep-students-coming-back) ![email](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/3842749/hubfs/email.png?width=100&height=104&name=email.png "email") ### SUBSCRIBE TO OUR BLOG ## Recommended for you [![nha-logo-abbreviated](https://info.nhanow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brand-resources/logos/nha-logo-abbreviated.png?width=350&name=nha-logo-abbreviated.png "nha-logo-abbreviated")](https://nhanow.com) - [For Secondary Educators](https://www.nhanow.com/secondary-educators) - [For Post-Secondary Educators](https://www.nhanow.com/postsecondary-educators) - [For Employers](https://www.nhanow.com/employers) - [Industry Advocacy](https://www.nhanow.com/about-nha/industry-advocacy) - [About NHA](https://www.nhanow.com/about-nha) - [News Center](https://info.nhanow.com/mediacenter) - [Learning + Leading Blog](https://info.nhanow.com/learning-leading-blog) - [Help Center](https://www.nhanow.com/resources/support/help-center) - [NHA FAQ’s](https://info.nhanow.com/faqs) - [Privacy Policy](https://auth.nhanow.com/policy.html) - [Terms of Use](https://www.nhanow.com/terms-of-use) - [Notice to California Residents](https://auth.nhanow.com/policy.html#privacy_information_ca) Copyright© 2024 National Healthcareer Association.
