Utah's Health Workforce Information Center
About the HWIC
The Utah Department of Health and Human Services Health Workforce Information Center (HWIC) was established to serve as the state entity for health workforce data analytics. Under the guidance of the Health Workforce Advisory Council (HWAC), the HWIC works with stakeholders across the state to assess the supply, demand, distribution, and retention of healthcare providers. It also helps determine progress toward the goal of Utah having a diverse, well-qualified and sustainable workforce that fairly meets the needs of all its residents.
These activities had been conducted by the Utah Medical Education Council (UMEC) before July 1, 2022. At that time, the council's duties were modified and it was formalized as a subcommittee to focus on medical education funding and administration under the Utah Health Workforce Advisory Council.
