Workforce availability directly impacts healthcare accessibility, service quality, and operational costs. When developing health policies and programs, industry leaders, government officials, educators, and stakeholders require current information about healthcare workforce trends, including staffing needs, distribution, training, and utilization. Consequently, SHTM and its Health Science program continually develop specialized majors to address critical workforce shortages identified by state authorities, professional groups, labor organizations, and regional industries.
