MA Recruitment Program
Purpose
Provides funding to support health care organizations to recruit and hire medical assistants (MAs) to expand the capacity of primary care practices to serve more Medi-Cal members in Merced, Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.
MAs are an integral part of health care provider offices and help ensure that patients get care in a timely and efficient manner. They are integrated into the patient-centered medical home model to:
- Streamline patient intake.
- Assist with administrative tasks.
- Facilitate communication with patients and the care team.
- Provide patient education.
MAs support primary care teams so that all health care professionals are practicing at the top of their training and licenses.
Current status
Applications are currently being accepted from Mariposa, Merced, Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties.
