quest for knowledge, or find themselves faced with obstacles that impede their search. If the will
to learn exists, the doors to education and knowledge must be open and accessible. The National

With the practice of distance education firmly established and growing

parents, and students are realizing the potential benefits of online

ne hundred years ago, life expectancy in the United States
was 46. Today, life expectancy for Americans is 76.4. We are a
society that is living longer, which puts increasing demands on
our healthcare system. The California Medical Institute (CMI) was formed
to help meet those demands by providing accessible, affordable education for
people looking to enter or further their careers in the healthcare field.
In 2002, health services was the largest industry in the United States, with 12.9
million jobs for wage and salary workers and 380,000 jobs for the self-employed.
The statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau indicate that 10 of
the 20 fastest growing occupations are concentrated in health services, and 16
percent of all new wage and salary jobs created between 2002 and 2012 are

projected to be in healthcare. This translates to 3.5 million jobs. Unless new
professionals enter the field, the United States will face an acute shortage of
skilled workers prepared to meet the enormous demand in healthcare services
driven by aging baby boomers, longer life spans, increased use of medication,
and managed care.
This aging of America has increased the demand for health services. The
baby boom generation will reach 65 in 2010. Between 2010 and 2020, the
staffing crisis is expected to peak, caused by baby boomers leaving the
workforce and heading into retirement. Unless the current trends reverse,

there will not be enough professionals to meet the country’s healthcare needs.
Continual development of new medical interventions and therapies increase
demand for these services. Many of these medical interventions have a
positive impact on longevity and keep people with chronic or life-threatening
illness alive longer. All of these factors result in a greater demand for health
services. These key supply and demand issues present a dynamic opportunity
for CMI to educate personnel and supply resources for this pressing need.
The newest member of the National University System, CMI was created to
meet community demand and has the capacity to educate and prepare
individuals for the healthcare workforce crisis of today and tomorrow.
Overview
• Founded in June 2004
By providing excellence in healthcare education, CMI gives allied health
professionals the skills to render excellent care with compassion and
respect for their patients’ needs. The California Medical Institute provides
a comprehensive series of classes, lecture labs, and clinical practicum

Access problems existing in professional development are addressed by IHHD

organization has a two-fold focus. The first is using national experts to deliver
educational curricula, health-related information, and clinical service
consultation, and the second is providing persons who are deaf and hard of

These groups have been reached through direct mail, announcements via
national consumer and professional association websites and listservs, national
conference exhibits and presentations, notices in journals and newsletters,
e-marketing, and other pertinent vehicles. Inclusion in state grants and contracts
has yielded participation in training early childhood personnel as part of a Texas
