Summary

The California Future Health Workforce Commission’s final report includes a set of 27 detailed recommendations within three key strategies that will be necessary for: (1) increasing opportunities for all Californians to advance in the health professions, (2) aligning and expanding education and training, and (3) strengthening the capacity, retention, and effectiveness of health workers. Throughout its deliberations, the Commission has focused on the need to increase the diversity of the state’s health workforce, enable the workforce to better address health disparities, and incorporate new and emerging technologies.
