Highlighted Workshops and Events
We list hundreds of events on our Rural Reporter Calendar, but the workshops and events below are either our workshops or events we'd like to highlight.
The Rural Health Data Summit is designed primarily for State Offices of Rural Health. SORH Data analysts and managers who understand and use rural health data regularly, as well as program managers and directors who make strategic decisions on the use of data and who are willing to go deep on these topics, are our main audiences. This is not an introduction to using data but a place for data users to share ideas with each other and help step up our game.
Event Website »The 2019 Wisconsin Healthcare Workforce Summit from the Wisconsin Council on Medical Education and Workforce will be held on Tuesday, September 24, 8am – 4pm at the Best Western Waterfront, in Oshkosh. Previous WCMEW workforce summits have drawn over 100 interdisciplinary attendees, and this year’s event will feature even more opportunities to engage, strategize, and learn.
The 2019 summit will be a venue for all healthcare professionals to connect – designing the workforce Wisconsin needs now and in the future. It will address questions such as: What can we expect for tomorrow's workforce? How can we prepare? How can leaders impact burnout in ways that actually lead to provider retention? How are schools and employers collaborating to train tomorrow’s clinicians?
Attendees and presenters include providers (physicians, APRNs, and pharmacists); hospital, clinic, and health system decision-makers; educators and clinical coordinators; state and local policymakers; managed care and payer executives; advanced practice innovators, and more.
