Workforce Diversity

Increasing the cultural diversity of the health care workforce is essential for the adequate provision of culturally competent care to our nation’s growing minority communities.

A diverse health care workforce will help to expand health care access for the underserved, foster research in neglected areas of societal need, and enrich the pool of future health care practitioners to meet the needs of a diverse populace.

All 17 counties in Nevada have some type of healthcare shortage designation, due to very high ratios of population to provider.  High Sierra AHEC serves as the bridge between academic health programs and these underserved communities.  

We implement effective programs to recruit young people to the health careers pipeline, and are an invaluable partner in maximizing the number of youth in our community that are informed about, choose to prepare for, and are successful in entering health professions training programs.
