Central Penn Faculty Member Christopher Adams featured in Medical Assisting Today Magazine.

"I’m honored to have been interviewed by Medical Assisting Today, the magazine of the American Association of Medical Assistants (AAMA), about the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare education.

AI is rapidly changing both education and healthcare. As educators, we have an important responsibility to help students use these tools ethically and effectively without allowing technology to replace critical thinking, clinical judgment, or the human connection at the heart of patient care.

I appreciated the opportunity to share my perspective as a healthcare educator and to contribute to this timely conversation. Thank you to Pamela Schumacher, MS, Prosci, RYT, Medical Assisting Today and the AAMA for including me!"

Medical Assisting Today is designed to inform and support medical assistants.

We are currently seeking adjunct faculty who are passionate about healthcare, enjoy working with students, and want the opportunity to help prepare the next generation of medical assistants and phlebotomy professionals.

If you have experience in medical assisting, phlebotomy, or a related clinical healthcare field and have ever considered sharing your knowledge and experience in the classroom, this could be a great opportunity to get involved.

One of the most rewarding parts of teaching in allied health is being able to take real-world clinical experience and use it to help students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to enter the profession.

Interested or know someone who might be a great fit? Please reach out to me or check out Central Penn College’s employment opportunities for additional information. Here is the direct link to the job posting: https://www.centralpenn.edu/careers-at-cpc/
