UAF works to recruit future healthcare providers

Alaska's healthcare industry is set to grow by over ten percent by 2032, highlighting a significant need for more medical professionals. The University of Alaska Fairbanks hosted its annual AIMES summit, encouraging students to pursue healthcare careers. Speakers emphasized the importance of passion and commitment over perfect grades, and the event provided valuable insights into the field. The need for nurses is particularly urgent, with an estimated 1,400 new registered nurses required annually for the next decade. Alaska is counting on the next wave of healthcare workers to step up, with more options and support available than ever. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network.
