GBHCW July Board Meeting Highlights

On July 18th, 2024 the Georgia Board of Health Care Workforce had the opportunity to visit Cordele, Georgia. Crisp Regional Hospital demonstrated their southern hospitality by hosting the GBHCW Board Meeting.

Annually the GBHCW holds an election of officers. We're proud to announce that during our Board meeting, all three members of our executive committee have been reelected!

 

James Barber, MD, has been reelected as Chairman.

William Kemp has been reelected as Vice-Chairman.
 

Lily Jung Henson, MD, MMM, FAAN, FACHE, has been reelected as Secretary/Treasurer.
 

Congratulations to our executive committee! We look forward to their continued leadership as we work together to enhance Georgia's healthcare workforce.

Our data team presented the 2024 Medical School Graduate Survey Report. During the meeting, the Board approved the publication of this year's report, which provides valuable insights into the medical school pipeline. The report explores why medical students chose a specialty, their residency sites, and how many intend to practice in Georgia after completing their training.

Additionally, our updated physician data was approved by the Board, providing updated licensure information from 2021 to 2022. This data allows users to navigate the distribution of Georgia’s physician workforce by state and county, enabling us to track changes compared to previous years.
