Vancouver Clinic

Vancouver Clinic was honored to accept the Washington Achieve Award last night from the Association of Washington Business (AWB). The AWB recognized three of our high-caliber education and workforce development programs. Our Internal Medicine Residency Clinic is helping to recruit, train, and retain vital primary care clinicians in our community during a growing doctor shortage. Introduced just this year, our Medical Assistant in Training and Medical Assistant Apprentice programs help reduce barriers to education and employment. By allowing individuals with no previous health care experience to earn as they learn, students can launch their careers as a vital part of patient care teams. Our physicians, leadership, and staff have put their whole hearts and countless hours into these programs, and we are beyond thrilled to see their work recognized.

Last week, Kelly Love, marketing director, represented Vancouver Clinic as a panelist at the Healthcare Communicators Northwest fall conference. Sitting beside representatives from Cambia Health Solutions, PeaceHealth, and the Washington State Health Care Authority, Kelly shared her expertise on how marketing and communications can partner with leadership to contribute to organizational success. “I’m going to walk with you all the way through,” Kelly said, explaining her positive approach to helping Vancouver Clinic teams solve problems. “I’m going to be the person who is thoughtful and encouraging. I’m going to bring the flashlight and help show the way.”

The Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council has granted provisional approval to the Vancouver Clinic Medical Assistant Apprentice Program. This means that the clinic can now train certified medical assistants in addition to registered medical assistants. These fully paid training programs help reduce barriers to education and employment while improving recruitment and retention in a high-demand field. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gysBARth.
