Summary
With the recent shortage of integrated care professionals in healthcare settings, developing a sustainable workforce of providers has become increasingly important. Areas such as mentoring skills, trainee competencies, and motivation challenges in these settings may add to this shortage problem. This workshop will highlight the importance of mentoring and training professionals from different disciplines to be adequately equipped for careers in integrated healthcare and medicine positions. The presenters will offer a series of content lectures, facilitate roundtable discussions on key topics, and lead a brainstorming session on the future vision of workforce development.
