RUSH - Clinical Hospital Operations - Apprenticeship

USAFUSAUSCGUSMCUSNUSSF
Program 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.

Roles & 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.

Target military occupations

Open to all MOS / ratings / AFSCs.

Additional notes

Rush has many openings and is constantly looking to bring in new talent for a broad spectrum of positions. Inquire for more opportunities.

Interview prep for this program
Ask them
  • ▸ "How many of your past SkillBridge interns received full-time offers?" — a serious program knows the number.
  • ▸ "Who will my day-to-day mentor be, and what does week one look like?"
  • ▸ "The listing says 31 - 60 days — can that flex to my approved window if my command shortens it?"
  • ▸ "Is relocation expected for a full-time offer, or can I convert where I am?"
Bring to the conversation
  • ✓ Your projected start window and separation date (from your profile)
  • ✓ Your command's approval status — even "packet drafted" signals you're serious
  • ✓ Your civilian-translated resume bullets (generate them here)
  • ✓ A written training-plan ask — you'll need it for your packet anyway
