A Guide To Learning and Development in Healthcare

According to the WHO, the demand for healthcare workers is expected to rise to 84 million by 2030. The number of healthcare professionals entering the American workforce will not even reach one-third of those leaving the sector. With a shrinking pool of qualified professionals and an aging population requiring more complex medical care, healthcare providers must invest in scalable training to ensure a future-ready workforce.

In this scenario, HR and Learning and Development teams face a colossal challenge: promoting a culture of continuous learning and development for healthcare professionals to constantly upskill while also leveraging technologies and tools that allow scaling L&D systems to meet the demands of a multigenerational, diverse, distributed, and often understaffed workforce.

The future of Learning and Development must equip healthcare professionals with:

• Technical skills, including operating Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and AI-powered technology.

• Soft skills, such as empathy, collaboration, and communication.

• Compliance expertise, enabling them to navigate changing regulations confidently.
