From Classroom to Patient Care: Addressing Workforce Shortages & Building Talent Pipelines with MUSC

Date: Sunday, July 12, 2026, 12:15pm to 1:15pm

Speakers

  • Jonathan Vallentine, Director of Workforce Development, at MUSC Health
  • Carnessa Ottelin, Education Account Manager – Strategic Accounts, at Siemens Healthineers

Health systems across the country are facing sustained staffing shortages that impact patient access, exam turnaround times, and operational efficiency. Through the lens of diagnostic imaging and nursing, this session explores how apprenticeship programs can serve as a practical, scalable approach to building a stronger workforce. 

Through a moderated discussion between health system and industry perspectives, attendees will learn how MUSC Health has partnered with the South Carolina technical college system to implement a first-of-its-kind radiologic technologist apprenticeship program and pave the way for future pathway programs for nursing and other healthcare professions. The session will highlight how combining classroom education with paid clinical experience can accelerate workforce entry, reduce talent bottlenecks, and create long-term career pathways.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 

  • Explain how apprenticeship models integrate academic learning with hands-on clinical training 
  • Identify key components required to establish a successful apprenticeship program
  • Evaluate the operational, financial, and workforce benefits of apprenticeship pathways
  • Apply lessons learned to their own organization or regional workforce strategy
