what we offer
Current programs
Medical Assistant Apprenticeship
This program prepares you to take a national certification exam to become a Credentialed Medical Assistant. The program has been approved by the state of Washington as an equivalent to an MA-C program at a community or technical college and typically takes 12-15 months to complete.
Dental Assistant Training Program
This year long training program prepares you to work as Registered Dental Assistants in the state of Washington. The program is designed for those who do not have prior dental knowledge and is structured so that you can become formally trained while working in a dental office.
Medical Office Specialist Apprenticeship
The Medical Office Specialist Apprenticeship Program trains students for front office and business support roles in healthcare. The curriculum meets CAAHEP’s medical administrative standards, and graduates are eligible to take the CMAA exam through the National Healthcareer Association, equipping them with recognized credentials for success in medical administration.
why inreach?
The future of healthcare
Sponsored by the Washington Association for Community Health, InReach helps its employer partners recruit and retain skilled healthcare staff through apprenticeship and training programs. These programs allow students to learn and work in the communities where they live. We provide a solution to help reduce the workforce gap in the healthcare industry.
Thanks to the program’s reach and inclusion, our alumni are more racially representative of the patient population than the existing MA workforce in Washington State. We aim to continue to reduce access barriers to traditionally underrepresented communities and further increase the number of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color students.
