KHA’s workforce study was recently cited in an article on Eastern Kentucky University (EKU) addressing the medical provider shortage in Kentucky.
With Kentucky currently facing noticeable health care professional shortages in almost every county, EKU is working to meet workforce needs by providing skilled graduates. EKU is actively working to establish a public College of Osteopathic Medicine in the Commonwealth to further alleviate these shortages. Meanwhile, EKU’s existing programs, such as the renowned nursing program, continue to educate students daily, preparing them to meet the critical health care needs of the state.
