Health Workforce Diversity - A Personal Journey
Katherine Flores, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Family and Community Medicine, University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine and Program Director, Fresno Latino Center for Medical Education and Research (LaCMER)

Presented at the Austin Conference

Dr. Flores will share her personal journey through the maze of entering a health professions school. Having grown up in a Mexican farmworker family in the Central Valley of California, Dr. Flores found the academic world very intimidating; unfortunately, this remains true for many families today.

We will join Dr. Flores’ journey as she highlights the:
• Value of pipeline programs in assisting disadvantaged students and their families;
• Importance of diverse student body and faculty in health professional schools;
• Partnerships and collaborations of all stakeholders in our academic health professions trajectory, including students, parents, teachers/faculty, community organizations, school districts, colleges/universities/health professions schools and employers;

Dr. Flores is a living example of how a diverse healthcare workforce can better insure an improved cultural competency in the care of patients and communities.

A Personal Reflecton on the Value and Importance of a Diverse Healthcare Workforce: A look at biomedical workers
Clifford Houston, PhD, Associate Vice President of Educational Outreach, University of Texas Medical Branch’s Schools of Medicine/Allied Health Sciences /Nursing/ Biomedical Sciences, Galveston, TX

Presented at the Austin Conference

The purpose of this presentation is to provide a personal reflection on the value and importance of a diverse healthcare workforce; identify some barriers to success; and some suggestions for overcoming those barriers. In addition, steps will be presented that will successfully lead young decision makers into careers in the biomedical sciences and healthcare as well as the impact that their decision will have on better health for those served.

It is well established that the United States as a whole and Texas in particular are not developing sufficient biomedical and health career talent to meet our current and future workforce needs. With the retirement of the “baby boomers” over the next fifteen years, the demand for all healthcare and biomedical workers will continue to increase beyond the current shortages. As a result, there is a critical need to improve student academic performance and interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-based careers. Due to the rapidly changing demographics in the United States, it is important to tap into our country’s vast quantity of historically under-utilized human resources (the disadvantaged, under-represented minorities, and women). Aside from the ethical issue, there is an overarching economic imperative to rectify disparities: We are now competing in a global market; any waste of talent is a loss in productivity, innovation and wealth that we cannot afford. Institutions of higher education, local school districts across the nation and communities must partner in an effort to engage a greater number of young students in math and science at the K-12 levels in order to produce more college-ready high school graduates.

Understanding Generaton Gaps in the Workforce-Mudd-ACTON PLAN

Understanding Generation Gaps in the Workforce
Keith Mudd, Director, University of Houston-Victoria Small Business Development Center, Victoria, TX

Presented at the Austin Conference

Understanding generation gaps in the workplace is imperative to better communication practices and increased productivity. The US workforce is expected to decrease in size over the next 10-15 years and given a US economy that is driven by expansion, the remaining workforce will be forced to work smarter and harder to keep increasing productivity.

Each generation brings different values, ethics and lifestyles that were shaped by shared events, experiences and influences. Understanding the four distinct generations in the modern workforce (i.e. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and the Net Generation), and what makes each generation different in terms of behavior, attitude, social influences, work ethic, motivation, thinking, and general beliefs will be increasingly important to modern organizations. To survive with fewer co-workers, we need to have a better understanding of each other and what makes each generation
unique.
