Abstract
Population growth in North Carolina is contributing to health care workforce shortages, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Professions affected most include public health, nursing, behavioral health, and direct care. We describe efforts to grow this workforce by promoting health professions careers, aligning training with current trends, and improving job satisfaction and retention.
