Program Overview

Prepare for healthcare where clinical care meets connected technology.

The DrKumo Academy Medical Assistant Apprenticeship Program prepares apprentices to support patients in both traditional and virtual care environments. The program combines supervised on-the-job training with structured online instruction focused on medical assisting fundamentals, patient communication, clinical workflows, digital health tools, Remote Patient Monitoring-Home Telehealth, Disease Management Protocol support, and Activities of Daily Living support.

Through DrKumo Academy, apprentices learn how to support care teams, communicate with patients, document health information, assist with digital health devices, and help improve patient engagement in chronic disease care.

Why This Program

Medical assisting is evolving. DrKumo Academy helps apprentices evolve with it.

Today’s care teams need healthcare workers who understand both patient-centered service and connected health technology. This apprenticeship is built to help learners develop practical medical assistant skills while gaining exposure to the tools used in telehealth, Remote Patient Monitoring, wearable devices, mobile health, EHR systems, cybersecurity, and AI-supported healthcare workflows.

Apprentices will learn to:

  • Assist with appointment scheduling, intake, documentation, and medical records.
  • Measure and document vital signs and patient health information.
  • Help patients set up and use Remote Patient Monitoring devices.
  • Support Activities of Daily Living assessments and patient independence.
  • Use teach-back, motivational interviewing, and culturally competent communication.
  • Document patient encounters using EHR workflows and SOAP-style notes.
  • Escalate patient concerns according to protocol and under supervision.

The uploaded standards list work-training competencies across administrative duties, clinical duties, RPM and ADL support, patient communication, digital health, chronic disease support, and case-based application.
