For a career in medical administration, an apprenticeship isn't always necessary, but it can be beneficial! Many entry-level positions require a certificate or degree in medical administration or health information management. An apprenticeship or internship can provide valuable hands-on experience, helping you understand the workflow in a medical setting. It also enhances your resume and networking opportunities. If you can, consider seeking out internships or volunteer positions to gain practical experience while you study!

Hello Jannel!

Apprenticeships within the medical administration field are not always necessary; it depends on if you are looking to specialize in a particular subfield or if it is general administration. If you are looking to apprenticeship, look for programs that are dual purpose. Is the apprenticeship only for experience, or will you test an earn a certification at the end? If you are seeking just the certification, programs like a CMAA (Certified Medical Administrative Assistant) distinction would be more beneficial. If your school has a HOSA Club chapter, speak with the instructor to see if joining would cover any instruction or testing for Medical Administration to help you with costs as well.
