TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new nationwide study commissioned by Ultimate Medical Academy, workers from other industries do not realize they have the experience and skills to apply for or even consider the 3.2 million healthcare jobs that are urgently needed by 2026. To help address this growing talent gap, The Study on Allied Health Workforce Retention surveyed 1,000 people ages 18-55, including prospective employees who might consider working in healthcare along with current employees in support positions and lapsed employees who used to work in healthcare.  

Key Points: 
  • Healthcare Industry Needs to Equip Outsiders to Fill Millions of Jobs
    The Study set out to understand what it would take to fill open positions that are the backbone of the industry, supporting patient care and business operations.
  • Prospective employees also do not appear to recognize that they may have transferable skills that would be valuable in the healthcare industry.
  • And employers see opportunities to offer that training, and more, to employees new to healthcare.
  • "The trend of plentiful jobs in healthcare support roles and not enough workers can have major implications on how employers address recruitment.
