## Summary

Rush and Harper College are working together on a new apprenticeship for aspiring medical assistants. It's the first of its kind in Illinois.

## Job description

Medical assistants are a crucial part of keeping a medical institution running — and many institutions, including Rush, are facing a shortage. The COVID pandemic accelerated years of staffing challenges into a crisis. A tight job market, burnout from the pandemic and newly available remote work options have created what Moran calls “a perfect storm” in health care staffing challenges. And medical assisting is no exception.
