Health Workforce Development Council

To proactively address emerging health workforce challenges, in August 2010, the California Workforce Investment Board (the State Board)established the Health Workforce Development Council (HWDC) as a sub-committee of the State Board.  The Council engages a broad range of public and private stakeholders to achieve its mission of helping to expand California’s health workforce in order to provide access to quality healthcare for all Californians. A core goal is to expand California’s full-time primary care workforce by 10-25% over the next ten years.
