Igniting a Spark Globally: Bridging Gaps into Health Tech
As the health tech industry approaches $775 billion, a critical talent gap threatens its growth. By 2035, the sector faces a shortfall of 12.9 million health workers and an even larger need for skilled tech professionals. How can education systems, nonprofits, and the health tech ecosystem collaborate to address this gap? This panel will explore solutions like experiential learning, credentialing for health tech careers, and STEM scholarships, focusing on preparing low-income students for careers that leverage technology to improve health.
