Today’s shortage of qualified Medical Assistant graduates has created a tight labor market for this profession. Healthcare employers often ask:

MedicalAssistant

Where do we go to recruit top MA talent?

Should we create our own internal hiring pipeline,

or do we only compete in the open market?

career-ladder

Recruitment and retention rates matter

Not only does high turnover impact the bottom line, but it disrupts any efforts towards streamlining processes and patient satisfaction.

As a healthcare employer, it can seem like a catch-22. If you invest in your frontline healthcare staff, they may feel more confident to pursue other jobs outside of your organization. But, if you do not outline a career advancement plan, your care team members may get discouraged and leave.
