Education and Workforce Planning

MACH’s Education and Workforce Planning Committee was formed to establish a clinical education infrastructure that reflects the collaborative identity of the MACH network. To achieve this, the committee is seeking to identify educational opportunities to increase capacity and professional development across its partner institutions.

The committee’s work programs include collaboration opportunities, joint education and workforce development initiatives, and evaluation and research related to education initiatives throughout the network.
