The Association of Clinicians for the Underserved (ACU)’s STAR² Center held a two-part webinar series on the retention and recruitment of medical assistants (MAs) and dental assistants (DAs) during the first week of February 2022. In response to the challenges health centers are currently facing when it comes to retaining and recruiting MAs and DAs, the STAR² Center partnered with The National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement (NIMAA) and National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA) to bring you experts in the field to share strategies and promising practices to better develop your MA and DA workforce.
The first part of the webinar series, held on February 1, 2022, from 4-5 p.m. ET, focused on the needs of the MA workforce and featured speakers from NIMAA and Community Health Center, Inc. The second part of the series, took place on February 3, 2022, from 3-4 p.m. ET, and focused on the needs of the DA workforce and featured speakers from NNOHA and Salud Family Health Centers.
