Abstract:
Health outcomes in North Carolina are less than optimal. To drive improvement, we must prepare a health care workforce adequate in number, optimally distributed geographically, skilled with forward-looking expertise, and empowered to practice in interprofessional teams at the highest extent of their license. This issue of the North Carolina Medical Journal outlines how North Carolina's health profession education institutions are working to open new programs and innovate curricula to produce the workforce that our state needs.
