Health systems can’t hire their way out of the workforce shortage. As demand for clinical talent grows, traditional education and training pipelines are struggling to keep pace with staffing needs.
CommonSpirit Health and Intermountain Health are taking a different approach. Instead of competing for the same shrinking pool of candidates, both systems are building their own clinical talent pipelines.
In this session, workforce leaders from both systems share how they’re turning workforce development into a long-term strategy. From securing executive and clinical leadership buy-in to supporting preceptors, funding programs and scaling across regions, they’ll explore what it takes to build sustainable programs that address immediate staffing needs while preparing the next generation of clinical talent.
What you’ll learn:
- Why health systems are looking beyond traditional hiring to build more reliable clinical talent pipelines
- How apprenticeship programs can attract local talent and create career pathways for existing employees
- Practical approaches to funding initial cohorts, identifying high-need roles and determining where to expand next
