The Center is an effort to supply a new generation of workers with jobs that have been created during this time of change in the healthcare industry. It will train people for those newly created roles and will also offer a range of professional education opportunities.
“The demand for new types of healthcare professionals is changing before our eyes — job boards are full of positions that didn’t exist just a few years ago,” Susan Salka, president and CEO of AMN Healthcare, said. “The AMN Center for Professional Advancement will help ensure that hospitals and health systems will have the right types of quality workers they need to in order to provide excellence in patient care, both now and in the future.”
Through partnerships with healthcare providers, the Center will create customized programs fitting the workforce supply needs of each organization. It will work with professional organizations to provide education, mentorship, assessment, certification and placement.
