The Looming Healthcare Vacancy Crisis
The healthcare industry faces an unprecedented workforce shortage, leaving employers grappling with an ever-growing number of unfilled job positions. According to the American Hospital Association, there will be a projected shortage of 124,000 physicians and 200,000 nurses by 2033.
In addition, following the COVID-19 pandemic, over 30% of healthcare practitioners are considering abandoning the profession. This alarming trend has left healthcare institutions struggling to maintain the high standard of care patients need and deserve. Combining these workforce shortages with an aging population and a rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases creates an urgent need to avert the vacancy crisis.
The Shifting Higher Education Landscape and Student Diversity
On the academic front, higher education institutions face their own set of challenges. The traditional model of healthcare education is encountering new obstacles as the higher education landscape evolves rapidly. Factors such as rising tuition costs, higher student debt burdens and changing career aspirations have resulted in declining enrollment for many healthcare-related programs.
Additionally, there’s increasing recognition of the need for a diverse student body to address the varied healthcare needs of the population. Unfortunately, achieving this diversity remains an uphill battle for many academic institutions.
