The Michigan Healthcare Workforce Index is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive index that assesses the “health” of 36 healthcare occupations in Michigan. Combining data from Lightcast, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) – MHC Insight was able to systematically rank healthcare occupations on four inputs - wages, growth, shortages, and turnover - to determine how each occupation is faring in our economy.

While no social science methodology is perfect, MHC Insight believes that the conclusions and analysis gleaned from the Index will be crucial in determining next steps for healthcare workforce development across the state – such as statewide workforce targets, workforce priorities, goals, and strategies.
