How many nurses will be needed in a year? In two, or five? What exactly will their roles be, and where? Data are critical to answering these questions and others, and shaping the future of the nation’s health care. In this webinar, led by Erin Fraher, PhD, MPP, director of the Program on Health Workforce Research and Policy at Cecil G.
