Supporting Our Employees through Higher Education and Professional Development

Our employees are the key to the GBMC difference. We are fortunate throughout the GBMC HealthCare system to have staff who are truly passionate about what they do and believe in our vision of providing the care we would want for our own loved ones. They are high performers who are dedicated to continuous learning. 

Because we value our workforce family, we are committed to supporting them with their professional goals and their pursuit of higher education in many ways. 

• Tuition Assistance (Prepayment or Reimbursement): Whether eligible employees are taking classes in-person, online, or hybrid, the Tuition Assistance Program provides financial assistance for career-related accredited academic programs. This can come in the form of prepaid tuition assistance (paid in advance of starting the class, greatly reducing the employee’s out-of-pocket costs) or tuition reimbursement after completion of a course. 
• Nursing Scholarship, Loan Repayment, and RN1 Last Semester Tuition Repayment: GBMC’s H. Norman and Jeanne Baetjer Center for Nursing Excellence Scholarship Fund offers tuition reimbursement and student loan repayment to support eligible nursing staff seeking higher education and professional development. 
• T. Rowe Price Family Education Fund: This funding supplements the tuition reimbursement benefit for eligible employees and can be used for expenses such as tuition, books, fees, and more. Applications for the 2024 fund are currently being accepted through midnight on September 1! Employees should check their email and the Infoweb for more guidelines and to learn how to apply. 
• GBMC University: These free courses are available to all health system staff, regardless of their role or responsibility, and allow employees to develop important skills for the workplace, view on-demand eLearnings, and access resources to assist with learning and development. Employees can browse GBMC University opportunities within NetLearning. 
• CORE Leadership Development Program through GBMC University: As part of this program, current and rising leaders complete courses alongside a cohort of colleagues to foster key leadership skills and build confidence. 

I encourage all employees to discuss continuing education opportunities with their local leaders and visit the Infoweb or PolicyStat to view the guidelines for the various programs.
