The June 1 Webinar Wednesday presentation “How to Hire and Retain the Next Generation of HTM Professionals” was sponsored by Nuvolo. It was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
The next generation of HTM professionals are getting ready to enter the work force, and they have skills health care facilities want and need. However, to hire and retain them, one needs to know what they want and need in their career and work environment. This webinar featured a panel of HTM educators and students who discussed what younger people entering the HTM industry are looking for in a job that may be different than what older generations sought. The panel also shared what new skills today’s HTM students are learning that will add value to an organization. The panel discussion was facilitated by Ben Person, chief marketing officer at Nuvolo. Panelists included HTM educators David W. Braeutigam, James Linton, Phillip E. Pash and students.
