Yet, workforce research often focuses on the number and type of health professionals needed and anticipated shortages compared with anticipated needs. These projections do not address whether the workforce will have the requisite social, intellectual, cultural, and emotional capital needed to deliver care in an increasingly complex health care system.Building a workforce that can deliver care in such a system begins by recruiting individuals with the requisite knowledge, skills, and attributes. To address this and other workforce needs, the authors argue that health professions education programs must make purposeful changes to their admissions criteria, such as focusing on emotional intelligence and diversity and recruiting students from the communities where they will return to work; partner with communities; ensure that accreditation systems support these goals of fostering diversity; recruit students who can bridge the gap between public health and health care; and invest in health professions education research.In this article, they contemplate how health professions education programs can recruit and educate talented health professionals to create a high-performing workforce that is capable of serving in the complex health care system of tomorrow. They provide examples of successful programs to highlight the potential effects of their recommendations.
