The formation of health professionals is critical for the health
system to function and to achieve its universal health coverage
(UHC) goals, and this is well recognized by the majority of
governments that plan to ensure enough training places and aim to
regulate in order to ensure quality. But the importance of market
forces is often overlooked, resulting in interventions and
regulations that often fail to achieve their intended effects. This
publication aims to inform the design of health professionals'
education policies to better manage health labor market forces
toward UHC. It documents what is known about the influence of
market forces on the health-professional formation process. The
report sought to answer the following questions: What have been the
large global and regional trends in the development of health
professions? How have these trends affected the career decisions of
current and potential health professionals? What is the evidence
base on the value and effectiveness of health professional
education of different types? How has the market for health
professional education evolved, and with what interrelationships
with the health labor and health care markets? The contexts of the
market for health professional training have been subject to
important changes in recent decades, in particular: the growing
extent of employment of mid-level cadres of health professionals;
changes in technology and the associated growth of high skilled
occupations; the increasing interconnectedness of national health
systems through globalization, with its implications for
international health professional mobility; and the greater
complexity of the public-private mix in employment options. There
is a need to ensure that market forces align with the intentions of
planning and regulation and the needs of UHC goals. This
publication provides recommendations to support the design of
policies that help to achieve these.
