Description
From hospital unit closures and job vacancies to an aging workforce, Maine is facing several challenges in sustaining its healthcare industry. Yet there are still opportunities for the state to bolster its healthcare workforce and services if industry and higher education work together.
The University of Maine is working with Northern Light Health on attracting and retaining the next generation of medical professionals. Leveraging UMaine’s biomedical research and Northern Light Health’s talent pipeline, both institutions also seek to mold the state into a biomedical industry hub and expand partnerships to realize this goal.
In this episode of “The Maine Question” podcast, UMaine President Joan Ferrini-Mundy and Dr. Jim Jarvis, director of Clinical Education at Northern Light Health, discuss this growing partnership and what it could mean for healthcare in Maine. Andre Khalil, a professor of biomedical engineering at UMaine, also shares his work in the fight against breast cancer as an example of how the university uses innovation to improve people’s health.
