Where Theory Becomes Practice
Externship organizations provide NIMAA students the in-clinic experience needed to succeed at high-performing team-based care primary health care centers.
Externship organizations often find that the NIMAA students who trained with them make great, long-lasting employees who are ready to work to their standard immediately. As it becomes more challenging to hire medical assistants trained to work in primary care, NIMAA is training MAs to become essential members of the modern health care team.
Our externship organizations have a commitment to NIMAA's dual mission: to ensure a well-trained workforce and to expand health care career opportunities for students. We partner with sites that demonstrate an executed model of care with MAs as essential members of the person-centered medical home team, and that have strong support from senior leadership.
