The US is facing a critical shortage of skilled healthcare professionals in several fields. According to a report from CNN Money, “The US will need to hire 2.3 million new healthcare workers by 2025 in order to adequately take care of its aging population. But a persistent shortage of skilled workers—from nurses to physicians to lab technicians— will mean hundreds of thousands of positions will remain unfilled”. According to research by global health care staffing consultancy, Mercer....” The largest number of new job openings – about 423,200 -- will be for home health aides”, the report found. “Few other industries are racing the clock to find a future-ready workforce like today’s healthcare administrators”, said Jason Narlock, senior consultant with Mercer. Mercer lists several staggering numbers of shortages in various fields by 2025:
- 446,300 home health aides
- 400,000 new nursing assistant positions
- 51,500 new nurse practitioner openings with not nearly enough skilled workers to fill them and
- 98,000 medical and clinical lab technicians and technologists.

IHG is responding to this crisis. We have certified over 6,000 CNA and Medical Assistant student and Home Health Aides, helping them advance their careers. In addition, we have collaborated with a significant number of diverse organizations that have supported our school by allowing our students to do important clinical externships, as well as hiring them after they complete our program successfully. We have made an impact in the San Diego community by developing quality graduates that provide superior and compassionate care for our seniors at a number of care facilities throughout San Diego. The IHGEF has been established to help meet this need by providing scholarships and other forms of financial aid. But we need your support to help solve this critical shortage. You and your family members will surely benefit from more skilled healthcare professionals being available, should you need their care.
IHG played a huge part in where I’m at today.
Today , I am a certificate holder as an Administrator for Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE). I thank International Health Group for where I am today. Every instructor I had for my CNA weekend class was very personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I was able to pass my state exam on first try , thanks to IHG intensive training. I first utilized my certificate in a locked mental health facility at Alpine Special Treatment Center as a Mental Health Worker. After one year working in mental health, I than decided to move to hands on care for Alzheimer’s and Dementia population, Which is where I am now. Managing an Assisted Living at Olivenhain Guest Home in Encinitas. Thank you IHG! I could not have done it without your promising Nursing Program!!
