Accelerated Health Professional Training in Michigan

Michigan universities and community colleges have received more than $17 million in grants to accelerate training for nurses and other health care professionals. The grants, which are part of the Governor's MI Opportunity Partnership, are expected to train health professionals, including RNs, LPNs, clinical nurse faculty, and allied health professional such as respiratory therapists and pharmacy technicians. The grants are being made available with Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hosptial (DSH) funds. The MI Oportunity Partnership specifically targets the health care industry because of the need for skilled workers and the existing vacancies. According to a recent study released jointly by the Department of Labor & Economic Growth (DLEG) and the Department of Community Health (DCH), the state will need to fill more than 100,000 professional and technical health care jobs in Michigan over the next decade.
