Provider shortages have plagued healthcare organizations for decades, and these shortages have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic. These increasing shortages have highlighted the need for Health Professions Education and Training (HP-ET) programs as a way to “grow your own” workforce at health centers. Understanding what roles are currently in demand, and which are likely to increase in demand in the near future, is critical to assessing what type of HP-ET or other recruitment programs can most benefit a health center.
Learn about projected workforce needs based on National Health Service Corps Vacancy Data and the options available to develop or sustain HP-ET programs to meet these needs in the ACU STAR² Center’s latest publication.
