Share your dental workforce challenges through the Spring 2024 WA Health Sentinel Survey. Survey results will be shared with key policymakers and other stakeholders to inform the policy development and funding decisions impacting our vital health workforce.

Take the Survey
Examples of topics covered in the survey include:

• Challenging Occupations: Which roles are particularly difficult to hire for?
• Policy Recommendations: What changes could better support your organization?
• Innovative Solutions: Share your creative approaches.
• Recruitment Strategies: What strategies are essential for attracting and retaining talent?

Your feedback is critical and confidential. Please be assured that data you provide to the Sentinel Network will be kept confidential. Your organization’s data will be reported in aggregate form with data from similar organizations. Great care will be taken to ensure that no individual organization’s responses can be identified in reports.

Policymakers are paying attention to your input. The WA Health Workforce Sentinel Network is funded by the Legislature, and it is clear that policymakers are paying attention to this tool. For example, information provided by you helped the state craft regulatory changes to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and invest in promising workforce pathways.
