About

The global shortage of high-quality clinical training opportunities has been a growing concern for health professions education with far-reaching implications. Most notably in the United States, clinical training sites and slots are not expanding in pace with the growing number of health professional schools and students, resulting in heightened competition for available spots and difficulty for students to complete required training. Exacerbating the problem is the extensive burnout of clinicians and workforce attrition, leading to limited preceptor capacity. This workshop series will explore causes and potential solutions to the growing challenge of insufficient experiential learning sites across all the health professions.

The planning committee will select and invite speakers, moderators, and discussants to participate in the workshop series. Virtual sessions were held on August 28 and September 10 to gather educator, trainee, health systems, accreditation, and regulatory perspectives. (video recordings linked below). Additionally, the planning committee solicited abstracts across the health professions that highlighted innovations and/or strategies for expanding high-quality clinical training placements. An abstract book has been provided as a resource and can be downloaded below in the meeting materials section. Lastly, several authors were further selected to discuss their work in video presentations, archived here. Workshop registrants are encouraged to learn from these resources in preparation for discussion on October 15-16.
