One of AAMI’s core strategic initiatives is to help increase the Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) personnel pipeline. “HTM in a Box” is one of many efforts. With the deficit of qualified candidates in the hiring pool combined with the ageing work force, promoting the HTM field is now more important than ever. AAMI has created the tools to make promoting HTM easy! “HTM in a Box” is a free resource designed to eliminate the prep work required to present at local schools.
The BMET Apprenticeship is a two-year hybrid program that combines education and up to 6000 hours of paid, on-the-job, competency-based learning. This apprenticeship program will bring structure to that process and contribute to a solution for bridging the current skill gap in the field for entry-level employees.
