Wisconsin and the nation face challenges in ensuring adequate healthcare workforce, particularly in rural and metro areas. Though projections of provider shortages evolve as our population ages, technology advances, and care delivery systems change, the state policy framework is key as we train the next generation of providers, and give them the tools they need to effectively care for their patients 

 Join the Evidence-Based Health Policy Project for a briefing at the State Capitol on trends and emerging issues regarding healthcare workforce nationally and in Wisconsin, current activities to support adequate workforce in the state, and considererations for policymakers.
