  1. 增加我们所培养的医生、护士和其他卫生保健专业人员的数量 通过扩大大学与社区卫生保健机构之间的伙伴关系，开发更多的培训机会, revise out-of-date policies, 提供有针对性的一次性调整，以扩大保健培训基础设施,  和 develop strategic scholarship 和 loan-repayment programs

  3. 使用各种工具鼓励卫生保健提供者在服务不足的地区执业，包括农村、部落和医疗服务不足的城市社区 
  4. Leverage the power of technology, including telehealth 和 digital medicine, to reach underserved communities 并与我们的各个培训地点密切合作，为我们所有的卫生专业学生提供强大的远程医疗培训
