GROW YOUR OWN CLINICAL WORKFORCE WITH HP-ET STRATEGIC PLANNING
Nataly Diaz, Deputy Director of Workforce Development, California Primary Care Association, and Kelly Rondou, Senior Consultant, Organizational Performance, Wipfli LLP
Event Overview: Grow-your-own is a core element of CHC workforce planning, and Health Professions Education & Training (HP-ET) programs are a proven strategy for growing-your-own next generation of CHC clinical providers and staff. In 2021, the California Primary Care Association (CPCA) partnered with the Education Health Center Initiative (EHCI) to develop the “HP-ET Template for Assessment and Action.” This resource helps CHCs build strategic plans specifically for HP-ET program/s by outlining a strategic workplan process and providing a sample plan outline and fillable plan template. In this session, CPCA and EHCI will discuss how CHCs and PCAs can leverage this tool in their own strategic workforce planning (SWP) and HP-ET efforts.
A free copy of the “HP-ET Template for Assessment and Action” can be downloaded from the California Primary Care Association’s virtual store (near the bottom of the page).
Target Audience: C-Suite Leaders, Operations Staff, Workforce Development Staff, HR Directors, and Clinical Directors at health centers in Region VIII (CO, MT, ND, SD, UT, WY).
