Academic Health Center Task Force - AHC Health Professional Workforce
Revised Recommendations
(May 12, 2006)
The AHC educates and trains 70% of Minnesota’s health professionals. The growing demand for health professionals, the increasing cost of health professional education, the decreasing public investment in health professional education, and the shift to community based education partnerships in Minnesota necessitates an analysis of how we will meet the state’s future health professional workforce needs.
The task force will formulate recommendations in the following areas: class enrollment size in our health professional schools; an assessment of the resources required in our current educational model; a definition of the role of inter-professional education; and recommendations for reducing the cost of educating and training the next generation of health professionals.
Report due: May 1, 2006
