Congratulations Shelby Giddings!
Shelby Giddings is the first graduate of the SW Colorado Medical Assistant Apprenticeship program. She is a new mom who had been working as a CNA and wanted to move up in a health-related career. Southwest Health Systems hired Shelby as a full time MA apprentice in the fall of 2017. In addition, she received financial assistance from the Colorado Workforce Center. Less than a year later, after completing the online educational component of the apprenticeship through US Careers Institute, Shelby passed her NHA (National Health Career Association) certification exam with a score of 97%, and is fully employed as a floating MA.
"I'm so thankful for the program and grateful that the SW Health and Colorado Workforce office in Cortez took a chance on me," stated Giddings.

Ready to make a little change for the holidays? Host a medical student! We are looking for temporary housing in Durango from November 30th until the morning of December 11th for a female medical student.
Act as an ambassador for Durango and inspire a student to consider practicing in a rural community after training is complete! In addition to undergoing a background check, you would need to provide:
|
- a bedroom with a lock on the door;
- working smoke detector on the same floor as the bedroom;
- access to a bathroom;
- a shelf in the refrigerator and in a cupboard for their food; you are not required to feed them;
- you may request they bring their own set of sheets so you don’t have to wash them (many of our hosts do this); you may allow them access to your laundry, but not required- they can use a public laundry mat;
|
Thanks for considering this or passing along the info to anyone who may be interested!
