Our recent MA Trainees and our Practices have experienced great success as a result of this program over the last 18 months. Part of this success is caused by the very structured and concise format of the program. As a result we do not have opportunities to accommodate individuals who cannot attend and participate in the course as described above. If you are unable to accommodate the described schedule we encourage you to look at other opportunities within CRH or at a future MA Training Program (future courses have not yet been identified). Thank you for your interest and best of luck in your career journey.
