Texas has a shortage of healthcare providers including physicians and nurses and is projected to have an ongoing shortage in the future. To increase the number of providers, Texas needs to both train more providers and support and retain our current healthcare providers.

Teaching Hospitals of Texas members have stepped up and historically funded training programs and partnerships in their communities and at their facilities and partnered with medical, nursing, allied health, pharmacy and other schools to grow new providers. At the same time, our members are innovating and focusing on how to support our current healthcare providers so they will stay in the field and continue to provide care.
