Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs. 2018. Maternal and child health workforce needs. Washington, DC: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, 8 pp.

Annotation: This infographic presents an analysis of the maternal and child health (MCH) workforce in the United States, drawing insights from the Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) 2017. The report discusses the makeup of the MCH workforce (highly educated, predominantly female, and facing significant turnover) and points both to areas where skill levels are high and where improvements are needed. The analysis highlights the need for targeted training and professional development to address these gaps, particularly as the workforce faces challenges around low pay, lack of advancement opportunities, and an aging demographic. These insights can inform workforce development strategies to support and retain the vital MCH workforce.
