A new Baylor Scott & White program through Guild Education, a platform that manages companies’ education benefits, pays directly for employees’ college-level...
Matching the trends seen across the health care industry, job vacancy rates at Baylor jumped about 400% at the height of COVID-19, said Baylor chief human resources officer Nakesha Lopez. Getting that number down — and keeping it down – required a multi-pronged approach including short and long-term solutions.
External degree and certificate opportunities aren’t the only professional development options for Baylor employees. The health system also offers on-the-job training programs for certified medical assistant and sterile processing technician positions. Alex Suarez, 25, knew he wanted to work in health care since he was a student at Coppell High School. He initially pursued a nursing degree, but stepped away from classwork before moving to Pennsylvania, where he worked as a dental assistant.
Suarez plans to finish his nursing degree after completing his two years at the practice. He knows now more than ever that nursing is the career he wants. That’s exactly how Baylor wants these programs to function, Lopez said. Entry-level positions, like medical assistant and sterile processing technician jobs, help guide North Texans into an industry where they can continue to learn. A technician can become a licensed practical nurse, or a nurse who provides basic patient care. A licensed practical nurse can study to become a registered nurse.
“I told a few of them and they’re very happy for me. One of my patients … he just told me to keep going. I told him I will and he said, ‘Let me know when you’re finished,’” Ellison said.
