The federal government's new $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program represents a significant opportunity to address healthcare workforce shortages where they're needed most.
At Adtalem Global Education, we understand the challenge. More than 40% of our physician residents are currently working in underserved areas. As the leading grantor of nursing degrees in the U.S., many of our graduates play a vital role in rural care delivery. We've learned that the most effective solutions come from within rural communities themselves.
Our online and hybrid programs allow students to pursue healthcare degrees while staying in their communities – completing clinical rotations locally and building the connections that keep them there after graduation.
As states prepare their grant applications, we're ready to support workforce development initiatives that create lasting impact for rural healthcare.
