HPAC Update: What’s Changed: • Johnson & Johnson Program Success: Results and Directions • Revised BLS Numbers • Significant changes from 2004-2014 projections • New AMA Education Data • Many programs appear to be producing adequate supplies of graduates • Some, primarily Laboratory Sciences, are significantly behind • New Look at Direction of Program • Marketing of Health Careers to meet the growing needs of the future • Quality education for the best students we can recruit • Monitoring the rapid changes in emerging technologies
HPAC Update: What’s Next: • Continue with original objectives
The Proposed Program Immediate Opportunities: Marketing Health Career Opportunities • Promotion of Health Career Occupations • Career opportunities; traditional and non-traditional students • Expansion of educational/provider linkages for future growth and quality standards • Awareness of public and legislative bodies of current critical situation and resource/funding requirements • Identification of Issues and Conditions Impacting the Quantity and Quality of Health Care Professionals
The Proposed Program Long Range Opportunities: Addressing the Barriers • Educational Staffing and Resources • Insufficient Number of Qualified Faculty • Competition Among Programs for Limited Clinical Sites • Insufficient Classroom and Laboratory Space • Need for New and Additional Equipment • Legislative & Funding • Governance & Regulatory
HPAC Update: What’s Next: • Continue with original objectives • Begin ground work in areas identified as Long Range Opportunities: • Identify the issues/barriers/opportunities within Education, Legislative, and Governance & Regulatory • No solutions or recommendations, just “getting a handle on” and putting in perspective of a bigger picture or goal. • Start shaping a process/script for a “per state” program • All politics are local • All states appear to have the same issues, different degrees of separation • Easier to assemble teams around a common program than to have every group building their individual silos of interest
HPAC Update: What’s Next (cont.): • Form Two New Committees: • Identification of issues within each group: education, legislative, and Governance & Regulatory • Shaping a process/script for a “per state” program • Begin Our Fundraising Activities
