The ADCS Bridge Year Program provides recent college graduates with the unique opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the setting of a private dermatology practice as medical assistants. Through this paid program, MAs learn to assist in a variety of clinical and administrative tasks that help keep a medical practice functional. We aim to employ reliable, self-motivated graduates looking to gain one or more years of experience prior to attending medical and PA school. We believe the lessons provided by this program will prepare our MAs for the rigors of a career in medicine.
