This is your opportunity to stay in healthcare, inspire the next generation of Medical Assistants, and build a rewarding career in education.

  • Share real-world experiences, industry standards, and best practices from modern healthcare settings

  • Mentor students as they build technical skills, professionalism, and confidence in patient interaction

  • Prepare students for certification and entry-level Medical Assisting roles

  • Evaluate student performance and provide constructive, supportive feedback

  • Participate in paid instructor training and ongoing professional development

  • Work independently while supported by a collaborative academic and administrative team

No lesson plans from scratch. We provide curriculum, training, and instructional support.

Minimum Requirements

  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a Medical Assistant or nurse

  • High School Diploma or GED required

  • Graduate from a Medical Assisting or nursing program preferred

  • Ability to use common software programs (MS Word, Excel, Outlook, etc.)

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills

  • Strong interpersonal and mentoring skills

Why This Role?

  • Formal and on-the-job training to transition into teaching

  • Opportunity to shape the next generation of healthcare professionals

  • Continue your career in healthcare without the physical demands of full-time clinical work

If you’re ready to step away from the exam room while staying in the profession you love, this could be the next rewarding chapter of your career!
