The number of people requiring care for serious illness is expected to rise significantly over the next several decades as a result of the aging of the population, and the associated increase in the number of people living with multiple complex chronic health conditions. The current workforce, however, is not adequately prepared to meet the rapidly growing demand for services.
On November 7, 2019, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s Roundtable on Quality Care for People with Serious Illness hosted a public workshop, Building the Workforce We Need to Care for People with Serious Illness.
