    Enhancing the Workforce Pathway: A Physical and Occupational Therapy Career Exploration Camp for High School Youth
    (Association of Schools Advancing Health Professions, 2023) Taylor, Jennifer D.; Kelley, Stephanie Piper; Young, Erica; Kerr, Monique; Family Medicine, School of Medicine
    There is a workforce shortage in the physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) fields. Pathway programs may help guide students with career exploration. This retrospective study assessed changes in students' knowledge about health careers and intent to pursue a health career based on their experience at a PT OT career exploration camp. Between 2018 and 2022, 60 high-school students participated in the camp and completed a pre- and postprogram evaluation survey. The results showed a significant improvement in participants' knowledge about health careers and plans to pursue education to become a health professional. Partnering with organizations with the resources to offer career exploration programs help build a strong pathway of students into the PT and OT professions.

    Integration of Oral Health with Primary Care in Health Centers: Profiles of Five Innovative Models
    (2015) Maxey, Hannah L.
    Health centers are leading the way in integrating oral health with primary care. Much can be learned by exploring the models that health centers have developed and adopted to achieve integration. This Monograph, supported by the DentaQuest Foundation and authored by Hannah L. Maxey, PhD, MPH, RDH, Assistant Professor and Director of Health Workforce Studies, Department of Family Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, presents information on five health centers that have successfully integrated oral health with primary care. It has been developed for the purpose of organizing and presenting information on successful models which may be useful to health centers and other organizations considering the implementation of similar initiatives. Each health center’s model is summarized within the framework of the five domains of the Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice initiative (IOHPCP), and full information on each of the models, such as the role of all care team members, is found within the profile for each health center.

    (2015-05) Norwood, Connor W.; Randolph, Courtney R.; Maxey, Hannah L.
    As Indiana plans for the development of a strong nursing workforce, data should be used to inform decisions that are able to 1) accurately describe the current workforce and 2) identify challenges and emerging issues. Data informed decisions will result in workforce policies and planning efforts that closely align with the actual health workforce needs. This report provides a ‘snapshot’ of the most recent data on Indiana’s nursing workforce, identifies emerging issues, and presents information pertinent to workforce planning and policy.
