Building Sustainable Pipelines to Attract and Retain Critical Roles in Healthcare
Tuesday, June 17, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. CT (2:00 p.m. ET)
There will be an estimated shortfall of 10 million healthcare workers worldwide by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum. At the same time, recent changes to income-driven repayment (IDR) plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) have created financial uncertainty for clinical talent. With borrowers facing higher monthly student loan obligations and fewer pathways to loan forgiveness, healthcare careers are becoming less financially viable—leading many to seek alternative professions or higher-paying roles outside traditional health systems.
Tackling this workforce crisis requires a retention-driven recruitment model that meets talent earlier, cuts costs, and retains that talent after hire. Join Clasp’s CEO & Founder, Tess Michaels, as we explore:
- How recent student loan policy changes impact talent retention and what health systems can do now to stay ahead.
- Actionable strategies for implementing education-to-career pathways and alternative incentives that drive attraction and retention.
- Case studies on how leading systems are securing top talent through long-term investment, reducing turnover, and lowering reliance on contract labor.
- The financial landscape for emerging healthcare professionals is shifting. Let’s talk about how health systems can adapt and build a sustainable workforce for the future.
