Across the U.S., rural and underserved regions are facing a silent crisis: a growing shortage of respiratory therapists, radiologic techs, surgical techs, and more. But these shortages don’t start in HR—they start in the classroom.
Clasp’s School Deserts Index Report uncovers the root cause: entire regions lack the accredited training programs needed to grow the next generation of allied health professionals. Without local schools, there are no students. And without students, there’s no pipeline.
What's inside:
- State-by-state analysis of where training access gaps are most severe
- New data on school program concentrations and mismatches with care delivery needs
- Role-specific insights into where shortages are growing fastest
- A tactical playbook for health systems to build local pipelines and retain talent
Allied health roles make up nearly 60% of the healthcare workforce—but training gaps threaten care delivery.
Clasp’s School Deserts Index Report shows where the risks are—and what to do next.
