New Orleans-based Ochsner Health System created a $10 million tuition
fund to grow its own workforce amid current labor market challenges,
according to The Advocate, a Louisiana news outlet.
The system will begin by paying tuition for a cohort of 30 primary
care physicians and psychiatrists. The physicians must commit to working
in Louisiana with the health system for at least five years to receive
the funding.
Ochsner has plans to offer similar scholarship opportunities for
employees who want to become licensed practical nurses or registered
nurses. It plans to ultimately cover tuition for about 1,000 employees,
according to the report.
