The Value of Growing Our Own

There is increasing competition for clinical care team members needed by health centers. One way to address this competition is to “grow our own,” and there are numerous opportunities to become involved in health professions education. Resources are available to help your health center decide if health professions education should be a component of its strategic plan. Questions a health center needs to address include: Is your health center ready to expand its mission to include health professions education? Does the institution/program you want to become involved with have a social mission? What is the return on investment? This rapid-fire session will feature a variety of perspectives to help you address these and other questions.
