Mount Sinai Joins Weill Cornell Medicine as a Full Employer-partner in Medical Billing Training Program at LaGuardia Community College
86% of 5th cohort grads are now employed—13 at Weill Cornell Medicine, four at Mount Sinai, and three in private practices
New York—At a recent graduation ceremony, the fifth cohort of 24 New Yorkers celebrated the completion of an intense five-month training, launched by LaGuardia Community College (“LaGuardia”) and Weill Cornell Medicine, to prepare them for rewarding, in-demand medical billing positions. Mount Sinai, which has previously hired program graduates, was announced as a full employer-partner. The Medical Billing Training Program is offered through LaGuardia’s Learning and Innovation Center. As full employer-partners, Weill Cornell Medicine and Mount Sinai representatives collaborated with LaGuardia faculty and program staff to screen applicants, provide curriculum input, create job-shadowing opportunities for students, and interview program graduates for open medical billing positions.
