CEO Peter Reilly says, "The current turbulence in healthcare driven by the great resignation, COVID-19, and increased regulation is driving a greater need for well-trained individuals to support patient care. Successful healthcare organizations are shifting the administrative and healthcare documentation burden away from Providers to a variety of support roles like medical scribe, clinical medical assistant – scribe, MA scribe or remote/virtual scribe in high-growth areas leading to a significant shortage of qualified candidates."

AHDPG is committed to making online job training and career development programs widely accessible to fill these needs.
