Many health professionals are licensed by State
boards, regulated by State authorities, and trained in State
institutions subsidized with State funds. As such, State legislatures
play a major role in regulating the health professions and ensuring
that there are enough health care workers to meet their State’s
health care needs. Currently, many States are facing worker shortages,
especially in nursing and other paraprofessional settings. This
session discusses the most pressing health workforce issues and
how State legislators can respond strategically to meet the needs
of their constituents. |
