Applied learning is a core pillar of clinical workforce development, but for many health systems, scaling it effectively remains a challenge.

In this 45-minute session, Guild’s Hanna Patterson sits down with Levi Lovercamp, Chief Workforce Planning Officer at Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH), and Megan McInroy, Director of Corporate Markets at Cengage Group, for a tactical conversation on what it really takes to build and sustain applied learning infrastructure from the employer and learning partner perspectives.

From accounting for learning time and PRN flexibility to wraparound support and cross-functional coordination, this is the kind of conversation organizations have been asking for - and now we’re digging in.

Takeaways include:

• How to support learners through every step of their applied learning journey

• Funding, scheduling, and structural strategies that make clinical placements possible

• Real-world lessons: what’s working, where the gaps are, and how to adapt
