CHA has created two fact sheets on pediatric non-physician clinical workforce shortages that provide background on the issue as well as federal, state and other policy solutions.
The fact sheets call for a targeted focus on the unique needs of children—and the specialized care providers who serve those needs—to ensure that our health care system has the full range of trained pediatric providers needed to deliver optimal care to children.
The fact sheets describe how pediatric workforce shortages are different than adult shortages; provide data on the extent of the pediatric workforce shortage crisis; explain the key drivers of pediatric specialty provider shortages and offer policy solutions.
