A Population Health Workforce to Meet 21st Century Challenges and Opportunities

Description

This virtual event hosted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will explore issues related to the multi-sector workforce for population health improvement. Presentations and discussions aim to answer the following questions:

• Who are the workers (e.g. workers in public health, in community-facing health care roles, in the social sector)?
• What education, training, and competencies do they need, especially considering current challenges and opportunities?
• How can the workforce be strengthened and supported?
• How best to address attrition, pay, and related matters?
• How best to use the resources being made available in the wake of the pandemic?
• These topics will be discussed in the context of the need to promote equity (including in the workforce pipeline) and ensure readiness to respond to evolving opportunities (e.g. pandemic-related funding) and challenges (e.g. health implications of climate change).
