There will be an estimated shortfall of 10 million healthcare workers worldwide by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum. At the same time, recent changes to income-driven repayment (IDR) plans and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) have created financial uncertainty for clinical talent. With borrowers facing higher monthly student loan obligations and fewer pathways to loan forgiveness, healthcare careers are becoming less financially viable— leading many to seek alternative professions or higher-paying roles outside traditional health systems.Tackling this workforce crisis requires a retention-driven recruitment model that meets talent earlier, cuts costs, and retains that talent after hire.
