Investigators: Brianna Lombardi, PhD, MSW, Evan Galloway, MPS, Brooke Lombardi, PhD, MSW, Erin Fraher, PhD, MPP

As the United States faces worsening workforce shortages and a persistent maldistribution of health care workers, foreign-born and foreign-trained health professionals may comprise an increasingly important labor source. We will develop a data visualization that allows users to explore the demographic, practice, and geographic characteristics of this workforce, as well as their origin-countries and their destinations in the United States.
