PATHWAY CONNECTION

Rowan College of South Jersey created the Clinical Medical Assistant “Integrated Education and Training” (IET) Program. An IET program is an education model that combines occupational skills training and basic academic skills instruction to increase and expedite the educational and career advancement of adult learners. IET programs combine education and job skills training necessary to transition adult learners beyond adult basic education and through a career pathway that can offer them job training and gainful employment.

The Clinical Medical Assistant IET Program combines front end and clinical medical assisting skills while also including mathematics, language arts, and workplace learning skills. By the conclusion of the IET program, adult learners have the foundational knowledge to enter a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant training program, apprenticeship program, or entry level employment.

RCSJ will pilot this program in FY24.
