Workforce Initiatves
CPCA, alongside the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), is developing a series of trainings and resources geared at helping CHCs assess their current workforce, identify gaps, and develop strategic workforce plans.
CPCA is working with HRSA to enhance health center readiness to train health professionals and “grow their own” workforce.
The CHC Residency Road Map offers resources to develop and expand physician residency programs based in community health centers.
The Compensation and Benefits Survey is conducted annually to collect key insights on community health center compensation structures.
Every other year, the Workforce Development Survey gathers key insights into workforce priorities, health professions training, and recruitment/retention strategies for CHCs.
Additional Workforce Resources
Effective July 1, 2022, community health worker (CHW) services are a Medi-Cal benefit due to a state plan amendment (SPA). Read more about this benefit and some frequently asked questions compiled by CPCA.
The workforce resource packet contains a warehouse of resources that support recruitment, retention, training, and staff resiliency in community health centers.
