It’s no secret that healthcare systems are facing near-historic levels of staffing shortages. Entry-level roles, such as medical assistants, are becoming harder to find, increasing the strain on health teams that are already overworked.

Given the high cost of postsecondary education, the need to hire quickly, and the relaxing of degree requirements, apprenticeships have become an appealing and effective alternative to college.
