NEW! As of 2023, more than 100 million people across the United States live in a Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA), as designated by the Health Resources and Services Administration. The demand for health workers is expected to continue rising faster than the supply and states are examining their role in bolstering and strengthening the health workforce. A new report from the National Council of State Legislatures (NCSL) includes information and examples that outline how states are creating and leveraging these programs to create a sustainable pipeline of health workforce professionals for the future. The report focuses on the three types of programs most commonly used by states: K-12 programs, community college programs and undergraduate programs.
