You believe all Accelerate U learners can be successful and that your job is to transform their motivation into the skills and mindset of a great medical assistant. 

You are a great teacher .

You love every part of teaching medical assisting: the technical stuff, of course, but also the professional skills, mindsets, habits that are essential for success in a hospital or health clinic. You’re excited to teach hands-on clinical skills in a manner that engages all students and ensures they become proficient in the skills necessary to excel on the job. You’re eager for feedback and always trying to get better. You’re excited to collaborate with others such as professional coaches, peer instructors, and the Accelerate U team. 

You want to create a community - a sense of belonging - for every learner.

You understand learners are not passive enrollees in our program, but active drivers of their own learning, and that learners in our program support the learning of one another: exploring content together, encouraging one another, and holding each other accountable on their way to full-time work. (You may even work along-side program alumni who have returned to be coaches or As an instructor, you will create a space for learners to build “social capital” among their colleagues so that they head into work with a meaningful, professional network.
