Montana Healthcare Workforce Student Meeting
- Thursday, November 6th at 5:00 PM
- We’d like to invite you to a conversation about the future of Montana’s healthcare workforce. As students preparing to enter the healthcare field, your perspective is essential to understanding what works and what needs to change to strengthen the healthcare system for years to come. Over the past several months, a statewide Healthcare Workforce Assessment gathered input from professionals across Montana. Now, we’re turning that information into action by developing a Montana Healthcare Workforce Strategic Plan and we want to make sure your voice is part of it.
- Join us on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. to:
- Hear key findings from the workforce assessment
- Discuss what strategies would best support healthcare students and new professionals
- Share your ideas for how Montana can recruit, educate, and retain its healthcare workforce
- Your insight will help ensure that this plan reflects the real experiences and priorities of students like you. We hope you’ll join us and be part of shaping Montana’s healthcare future.
