Kaplan’s Post

Roper St. Francis Healthcare is proud to partner with Kaplan to offer teammates access to online degrees for little or no cost to them. 🎓 This collaboration invests in employees by covering most or all costs for online certificate programs and degrees in nursing, technology, business, and more. These flexible programs are tailored for working adults, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their schedule. 📅 “Our obligation to help our patients is to be lifelong continuous learners,” said Roper St. Francis Healthcare Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Megan Baker. “I really encourage people, even if they’re mid-career or later, to think about utilizing this benefit.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNZdh_uD #EducationBenefits #Healthcare

Denver Health's School-based Health Centers (SBHCs) now offer a paid Health Care Entry Program (HCEP) for Denver Public School students interested in health care careers. Made possible by a grant from The Colorado Health Foundation, the program gives students hands-on experience working with medical assistants and helps them prepare for certification programs. HCEP offers a new pathway to a health care career for students straight out of high school.

Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) provide clinical training support to help ensure that healthcare professionals are skilled and prepared to serve in primary and preventative care roles in rural and medically underserved communities. Last year, more than 30,000 health profession students participated in facilitated rotations, with 44% of those placements in rural areas and 59% in primary care settings. These hands-on experiences shape the next generation of healthcare providers committed to working in the communities that need them the most, with 85% of trainees serving in medically underserved areas. We’re grateful for the thousands of health professionals who work with us to serve as mentors, and we are proud to play a role in improving healthcare access through better training and greater preparedness. #ClinicalTraining #HealthWorkforce #RuralHealthcare #PrimaryCare #UnderservedCommunities #AHEC #HandsOnLearning

🏥📚 Building Healthcare Capacity Through Leadership in Clinical Education: With the growing demand for healthcare professionals, academic hospitals, like the University Health Network in Toronto, have traditionally been at the forefront of providing hands-on training for clinical education. However, there is a growing trend of large community hospitals, such as Scarborough Health Network in the GTA, that are stepping up to expand their education programs to train the next generation of provider. 💡 Collaboration in innovative educational programs drives excellence for building a thriving healthcare workforce 🤝. The Health Healing Initiative Framework touches on six key principles essential for a health system to deliver quality, compassionate care by a thriving workforce. 🌟 To learn more about harnessing hospitals in healthcare education, there is "Harnessing Hospital Leadership in Education" article from the Ontario Hospital Association. #healthsystems #innovation #healthcareeducation

"My advice for future students, lean into each other, build that community of trust, and take feedback as an opportunity to grow." This is what Ellison Chung distilled the Master of Health Leadership and Policy in Clinical Education into. After two years studying part-time, while balancing a position as an emergency room nurse, Ellison is now being recognized as a #risingstar in his industry! The journey required a fair bit of adaptation, something Ellison excelled at. "I remember there was one project where our team had the most amount of feedback and it felt like we had failed to deliver a quality presentation." It took a reframing to grow comfortable with this form of learning: "However, in our debrief, we recognized that our project only received that much feedback because partners were genuinely invested in our vision and wanting us to succeed in future iterations. Once we got that reframe and a little cheering up, we thrived!" It was a collaborative rather than critical approach that really helped Ellison to excel. "Through reading and interpreting #ESG reports, I started to understand how changes don’t need to be large, but start with the individual."

As I witness the deeply disappointing cultural shift ripping through our society and across the globe, it has become clear that equity is no longer the goal.  Instead, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or “DEI”, has been weaponized.  As a result, healthcare institutions’ commitment to educating providers about implicit bias, health disparities, and health equity has weakened. Efforts to maintain current and implement new equitable policies to address social determinants of health, long-standing health disparities, and poor health outcomes have stalled. Still, I remain passionate in my belief that What Is Race & Why Does It Matter: Implicit Bias & Health Equity Education for ALL is the foundational education that healthcare providers need to begin exploring how our society defines race and how our lived experience from the perspective of race impacts the care we provide, patients’ perceptions, experiences, and health outcomes. However, given the current climate, I have decided to suspend offering Continuing Education credits for the course starting December 1st, 2024.  To receive 2.0 CEUs, please complete the course before the deadline. You will still have access to the content for one year after starting. What Is Race & Why Does It Matter: Implicit Bias & Health Equity Education for ALL is my life’s work. So, I will continue to offer the course without Continuing Education credits at a reduced price, hoping that curious individuals and brave institutions will find the content and experience valuable. Please continue supporting my work by sharing it with clinicians and healthcare leaders within your organizations. https://lnkd.in/ehz9MVnt Like many of our Black women friends, colleagues, and equity advocates, I am tired 😓! As part of my self-care effort, I have decreased my social media activity. Instead, I will prioritize rest and joy while determining how I will contribute to the collective path forward. Thank you in advance for your support and for extending grace and empathy🙏🏾. .
