Montana’s healthcare workforce

• Added over 2150 jobs over the last year, ~7300 during the last five years.  Projected to add 1300 new jobs per year

• Tight labor markets across the state, all sectors.  Healthcare is competing for new workers with other employment sectors.

• Large Baby Boomer generation is retiring, but not enough young people to replace them

for example, MT has 3rd oldest physician population in the US

• Healthcare jobs typically require post‐secondary education, the pipeline is looooong.

Statewide Strategic Planning

• 2007‐2008:  Version 1.0• Council appointed by Governor’s Office and OCHE• Staffed by AHEC• Recommendations made to the Board of Regents:

• Medical Education

• Nursing

• Allied Health

• 2011:  Version 2.0• Broad representation of nearly 100 voluntary participants, depending on topic area

Current Version 3.0• Research and writing followed same collaborative process

• Same format as 2011

• Published early 2017

• Widespread recognition and utilization of the plan across the state• HealthCARE MT

MONTANA HEALTHCARE WORKFORCESTATEWIDE STRATEGIC PLAN

Overall Strategies• EngageMontanans in understanding and addressing the State’s healthcare workforce needs• Increase capacity to analyze the state’s healthcare workforce and develop data sets to provide clear, comprehensive and actionable information about Montana’s healthcare workforce.

• Educate and Train Montana’s healthcare workforce• Develop and support the healthcare workforce pipeline in order to “Grow Our Own.”  Support our own residents to become the healthcare workforce of the future.

• Recruit health professionals to Montana’s health professions shortage areas• Develop a “culture of learning” in rural/frontier healthcare communities

• Retain a skilled healthcare workforce• Develop career ladder and skill development programs that allow rural healthcare workers to obtain degrees and certificates or to advance in their careers

Triple Aim (not the one you’re used to seeing…)

Education/

Training

EmployersDepartment of Labor

What’s next?

• Unprecedented synchronicity between workforce sectors—recognition that sectors must work together, siloed efforts can’t accomplish as much as coordinated 

• HealthCARE MT 

• Apprenticeships

• Pathways programs (OPI)

• Move to multi‐disciplinary or inter‐professional learning and experiences.

Work based learning

• “workers with an existing connection to a Montana business during their school years through an internship or other work‐based learning activity are more likely to remain in Montana after graduation.”

• Career pathways in high school, dual credit, HOSA

• Can be as simple as job shadow to as complete as apprenticeship.

• Don’t overlook existing staff. Distance learning opportunities.

Apprenticeships

You might have to work hard to get an apprenticeship but so many jobs open up to you(MurdoMacleod for the Guardian)

Apprenticeship Program Locations

• Alignment of pre‐requisite courses and Allied Health Core Curriculum across ~150 academic programs. Emphasis on laddering and latticing.

• Four faculty/employer committees met bi‐weekly to identify core competency areas, crosswalk to courses, identify innovative curricular delivery and implementation, and identify career ladders and pathways.

• Through a series of Healthcare Summits, convened over 75 Montana healthcare employers, faculty, and industry representatives to review and provide input and feedback on the Allied Health Core Curriculum Model and competencies. Employers provided input into stacking credentials.

• Conducted campus site visits with Allied Healthcare        faculty for feedback on final competency model,         common pre‐requisites and core curriculum courses          and identified existing lattices. This led to development       of 2 healthcare math courses and a restructuring of the             Anatomy and Physiology sequences.

Improving the health of Montanans by educating future physicians dedicated to providing care for communities across the state.

Montana WWAMI Mission Statement

Montana WWAMI figures:• About 100 students/year apply; must be MT residents• 55-75 are interviewed by a committee of MT physicians with some

UW representation• 30 students are admitted per year (increased from 20 in 2013)• Students spend the first 18 months in Bozeman (starting 2015)• New facility at Bozeman Health opened Aug. 2016• Students now start clinical clerkships in March of 2nd year• ~25/30 do most of the required clerkships in MT• 350 clinical faculty teach 40 required clerkships in 17 communities• 150 students from all WWAMI states do clerkships in MT each

year• Historically 41% of graduates have practiced in MT (57% return if

counting those from all WWAMI states)

Clinical Training Options in WWAMI for required clerkships

• WWAMI safari: 5-state region to choose from for clerkship sites (at least 3 of 6 required clerkships outside of Seattle)

• Tracks – 4 of 6 clerkships done in one area

• Missoula, Billings, and Bozeman (new in 2014)

• Spokane, Anchorage, Idaho, Olympia

• WRITE : 5 month longitudinal clerkship in one rural or underserved site; in MT this option is only for students in the TRUST program (starting 2017, 12/30 students are in TRUST)

All students spend minimum of 12 weeks at UW hospitals (required or elective clerkships)

E15 WWAMI students – first class in the new curriculum

The New WWAMI Curriculum

Goals:• Introduce clinical skills earlier

• More clinical relevance to basic science content

• Integrate courses to avoid duplication, highlight connections between disciplines and organs

• Shorten time before Step 1 to allow more time for clerkships and career exploration

• Replace lecture time with active learning

• Teach lifelong learning skills

• Make content more uniform across sites

Foundations Phase Vocabulary

Blocks• 3-10 weeks long• Integrate material from old 1st and 2nd year courses

Threads (throughout 18-month Foundations Phase)• Foundations of Clinical Medicine• Primary Care Preceptorship• Anatomy and Imaging• Histology & Pathology• Pharmacology

Themes (through all years of curriculum)• Lifelong Learning• Ethics & Professionalism• Health Equity, Diversity, & Population Health

College Faculty

• Physician-mentors that “define” the profession– Commitment to academics, community, clinic, co-

workers and most importantly, their patients• Teach Foundations of Clinical Medicine

curriculum (clinical skills) alternate Tuesdays• Wed. or Thurs. morning rounds with their

group of 5• Mentor 5 students from each class for their

entire 4 years of med school • Keep preceptors in the loop (5 preceptors

each) and help with faculty development• 30 volunteer primary care preceptors spend

every other Tuesday with one student each
