Press release from the University of Delaware: May 2, 2022 CHS Stern Summit seeks to reimagine the healthcare workforce The COVID-19 pandemic stressed healthcare systems, bringing many to a breaking point, and even as we emerge stronger, the workforce remains plagued by nursing and doctor shortages. The future of the healthcare workforce — both what it could and should look like and the technology they'll be using — will be front and center at the upcoming inaugural Stern Future Health Workforce Summit at the University of Delaware's Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus on Tuesday, May 17. "It's not business as usual, and COVID taught us that," College of Health Sciences Dean Kathleen S. Matt said. "We need to meet people where they are to help them achieve the best health outcomes. We build healthcare around hospitals and clinical sites, when in fact, what we need to do is embed health and wellness care into communities." Hosted by the College of Health Sciences and funded through the generous support of UD College of Arts and Sciences alumni Andrew M. Stern, Class of 1970, and Sabina Bobzin Stern, Class of 1971, the day-long seminar features four keynote speakers and afternoon panel discussions on interprofessional approaches to workforce and putting education to practice to codesign the workforce of the future.
