Hello 👋
With the World Health Organization projecting a shortage of 11M health workers by 2030, the need for innovative solutions to healthcare workforce gaps has never been more urgent. Governments, universities, and industry leaders are stepping up - Pennsylvania’s proposed budget allocates $10M to support rural hospitals and expand loan repayment programs, while Flinders University is launching South Australia’s first full rural medical degree to strengthen regional healthcare access. Meanwhile, Philips and Medtronic are upskilling Indian clinicians in advanced imaging, and GE Korea Healthcare’s new virtual training app is enhancing ultrasound proficiency. These efforts highlight the global imperative to invest in healthcare talent and innovative training.
Join us at Global Skills Week in Washington, D.C., where the Health Skills Leadership Council will convene top experts to tackle workforce challenges, while the Future of Skills and Work Forum will feature the session “Closing the Health Skills Gap: Innovating for Inclusive Care.” Leaders will explore cutting-edge strategies to equip healthcare workers with the skills needed for equitable and accessible care worldwide.
