Race/Ethnicity Health Workforce Trends

The dataset contains estimates for the number of healthcare professionals in 15 different healthcare categories (e.g., Registered Nurse, Dentist, License Clinical Social Worker, etc.) based on completion of license renewal by Race/Ethnicity. There are two timeframes: all current licenses and recent licenses (since 2017). California population estimates are also included to provide a marker for each Race/Ethnicity. Each healthcare professional category can be compared across Race/Ethnicity groups and compared to statewide population estimates, so Race/Ethnicity shortages can be identified for each healthcare professional category. For instance, a notable difference between healthcare professional category and statewide population would indicate either underrepresentation or overrepresentation for that Race/Ethnicity, depending on the direction of the difference.
