DocGo, a leading provider of last-mile mobile health services and integrated medical mobility solutions (Nasdaq: DCGO), today announced the launch of DocGo Academy and DocGo EMS Academy, two full-service programs dedicated to recruiting and training clinicians, EMS workers and other healthcare professionals. Combining classroom education with practical hands-on learning, the programs are designed to help existing healthcare professionals advance their careers and provide aspiring entry-level workers with the opportunity to enter the healthcare industry. DocGo Academy focuses on uptraining clinicians, while DocGo EMS Academy is tailored to EMS workers, from EMTs to paramedics.
Rolling out during a nationwide shortage of healthcare workers, DocGo Academy and DocGo EMS Academy aim to open doors for professionals at every level. The comprehensive training programs are available in select states, with plans for national expansion in the coming months. Tuition is free for students who continue their employment with DocGo.

For less financially able applicants, we’re offering them entry to a meaningful career without any cost barrier.”
