Hear from nationally recognized health care economist and author, Dr. Peter Buerhaus, as he discusses the nursing and physician workforces and the keys to building your health care team. Dr. Buerhaus will examine projections of the future size of the nursing workforce in the United States through 2030 and share strategies to grow the size and preparation of the post-pandemic nursing workforce that the United States needs. Learn how hospitals, nurses, and policymakers can forge a successful path forward and leverage the strengths of the health care workforce.
