The Minnesota Office of Rural Health and Primary Care (ORHPC) has launched a new and improved Minnesota Healthcare Workforce Dashboard.
The dashboard features data on licensed providers in a range of healthcare fields, including physicians, nurses, mental health professionals, dentists, respiratory therapists, and many others.
The data will provide industry partners and stakeholders, including government agencies, researchers, students, educators, medical professionals, professional organizations, media, legislators, and more with the latest information on Minnesota’s healthcare workforce landscape.
The dashboard provides answers to frequently asked workforce questions, such as: who are Minnesota’s healthcare providers and where they work.
ORHPC will update the dashboard to address user needs and interests.
For more information about survey and analysis methods, please see the Health Workforce Analysis Survey Methodology page. For data requests or additional information, please contact health.workforce@state.mn.us.
