  8. The Big Picture Message • California faces a shortage of health professionals in disciplines such as: primary care, geriatrics, nursing, allied health, public health, home health, long term care, mental health, and health administration. • The lack of a coordinated health workforce plan at the state and regional level leads to tens of millions of dollars wasted by health profession employers and health profession education institutions.

  9. The “Consequences” message • High turnover rate due to competition for a small pool of clinicians in region. • Periodic shortages caused by misalignment between workforce needs and regional training capacity. • Loss of investments in career development for culturally competent providers among community health centers and other safety net institutions due to recruitment by mainstream providers • Competition among health professions education institutions in CA and at national level for small pool of under-represented candidates meeting traditional admissions criteria. • High attrition among CA higher education students in pre-health track due to inadequate preparation in urban and rural public schools. • Slow start and/or failure of pipeline programs due to lack of information on programmatic innovations, strategies to leverage resources/stakeholder engagement, and timely investments.

  10. Value Proposition for Donors • Broad forum of HP stakeholders with which to articulate your specific current and projected workforce needs. • Timely and detailed information on the latest innovations in health workforce planning and development at the local, regional, and statewide level • Coordination and leveraged engagement at the local, regional, and statewide level to make optimal use of organizational resources • Enhanced public image through engagement in a high profile statewide health workforce alliance. • Facilitated access to key stakeholder leaders among State agencies, higher education, HPEs, and constituent organizations. • Detailed information on population characteristics, needs, and preferences, with focus in underserved communities
