OVERVIEW
Meeting the healthcare needs of Wisconsin’s citizens amid the current provider workforce shortage presents challenges and opportunities. The Wisconsin Council on Medical Education and Workforce (WCMEW) convenes the Wisconsin Workforce Summit annually with the express purpose of bringing together stakeholders to develop strategies that address healthcare workforce needs, now and in the future.
PRACTICE GAPS AND NEEDS
The number of providers in Wisconsin is currently insufficient to meet the needs of its residents, especially in rural geographic and other under-served areas. It is anticipated that this trend will continue. Additional challenges to delivering healthcare include provider burnout and addressing the educational needs of future healthcare providers. These problems are being further magnified by the COVID-19 Pandemic and can also negatively impact healthcare access, disparities, and patient outcomes.
Planning for and ensuring an adequate workforce and infrastructure to support healthcare for now and in the future is critical for the health of Wisconsin citizens and beyond. Organizations and academic institutions need tools and strategies for policy change and to be able to adapt to new and challenging circumstances within their healthcare delivery systems and educational structures.
Global Learning Objectives
By the end of the summit learners will be able to:
- Describe the current healthcare workforce climate in Wisconsin
- Examine innovative healthcare education and training developments in Wisconsin
- Identify best practices of healthcare delivery in a COVID-19 environment
- Select appropriate strategies to address challenging workforce issues
- Discuss how the interprofessional team contributes to positive outcomes in healthcare delivery and professional satisfaction
Session Learning Objectives
- List three successful strategies and tactics for medical education coordinators in the COVID-19 era
- Describe how competency expectations have expanded for medical education coordinators working onsite and offsite from their institutions during the pandemic

Terry Frederick
 | Terry has worked in education and the health care environment for over 25 years. Starting with a career in Community Outreach and Education, to Under Graduate Medical Curriculum design to Continuing Medical Education Performance/Quality Improvement in health care. Her education career actually started in radio as an announcer and then doing commercials. Terry enjoys working with interprofessional teams to create education that will leave the participant changed for the better. It is great fun to work on a concept or topic all the way to fruition and delivery. Creating education that matters is a process and understanding that education isn’t always the delivery of information, but can be used to eliminate redundancies, remove barriers and create a flow within each step. Trying to discover the “whys” and then working through building an “out of the box” intervention that allows for effectiveness, efficiency and outcomes that can be documented, is like putting in the last piece of a puzzle. Terry also is a firm believer in fun. Education and learning does not equal serious! |
