The Ready to Work initiative will train candidates as medical and administrative assistants, phlebotomists, and pharmacy and EKG technicians over a three-year grant period, according to a Sept. 21 news release from UMass Global. 

Current Mass General Brigham workers are eligible for the program, which will emphasize diversifying the workforce, the release said. 

The initiative is funded by a $5 million grant from the city of Boston.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
