Presentation to the 13th Annual AAMC Health Workforce Research Conference
Presentation Overview
- High level of interest, limited implementation
- Most states seeking new funds, not redistributing existing funds
- Oversight bodies play critical role in educating legislature and navigating competing interests
- We heard loud call for increased accountability/transparency
- Critical need for better data and metrics to measure workforce outcomes
- Findings not earth shattering but study (literally) gives voice to critical enablers/barriers to state GME reform
