The Foreign-Educated Health Professional Piece in the Health Workforce Puzzle
International Recruitment Part 1 of 2
With a global staffing shortage in the health workforce, more institutions are turning to recruitment of foreign-educated health professionals (FEHPs) to fill staffing gaps and provide critical care. FEHPs play a crucial role in the U.S. health system and bring many benefits, but they also face different challenges than their domestic colleagues. This webinar will address five key points for human resources representatives to understand when working to support FEHPs and enhance staff cohesion.
Objectives
- Learn the general migratory and licensing process for FEHPs coming into the U.S.
- Understand how recruitment practices continue to impact FEHPs once they begin work.
- Identify key differences between ethical and unethical recruitment firms.
