In the coming months, Care Anywhere will also feature working nurses and other healthcare professionals describing their experiences and the challenges they face in their career mobility journeys. Subjects will include their pathways to education and credentialing, their career advancement decisions, and what they are doing today to lead care model evolution within their health systems.
"Understanding and addressing global health workforce challenges is increasingly important to advancing the health workers and health systems worldwide.

"We're at a powerful intersection where global shortages are critical and there are big problems to solve, but there has also never been a more exciting time to be a nurse or healthcare worker. New technologies, shifting practice roles, and the opportunity to lead care evolution across global health systems-we're going to dive into all of those industry drivers."
