Continuing on from our Healthcare Human Resources Symposium, please help us welcome Deb Gordon, the CEO of Health Workforce Canada for our first C-Suite Fireside chat of the year.
Building a Stronger Health Workforce: Insights and Innovations with Health Workforce Canada. Health Workforce Canada is a new, independent organization established by an Interim Steering Committee, supported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), and funded by Health Canada. It has been created in recognition of the need to bring together health workforce experts and those in the health care field to learn from each other and strengthen health workforce data and planning to help ensure health workers are there to provide the care people in Canada need. Attendees will gain insights into the latest trends and data in the health workforce, learn about effective strategies and best practices for improving health workforce planning and understand the key drivers for ensuring health workers are available to meet the needs of Albertans now and into the future.
