Description

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop to explore the many and varied needs of an aging population, and an ideal health workforce that could match those identified population needs in terms of numbers and skillset. Further discussion will include expert opinions on who will make up the health workforce, training requirements for each level of care provider, who will provide the training and education, and in what setting the training will take place. Presentations and discussions may include global examples to help identify new ways of addressing shared challenges with aging, such as mental health functioning, physical functioning, persistent pain, multi-morbidity, polypharmacy, and the impacts of social determinants on healthy aging and payment structures for care.

The planning committee will select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions at the workshop. Following the workshop, a proceedings of the presentations and discussions will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
