Abstract

A healthcare workforce shortage of 18 million is expected by 2030, against a global demand of 80 million, and it is difficult to analyse and monitor the real drivers driving this personnel shortage on a global level. The transformation of qualitative data into quantitative data can be a strategy in this global challenge, that can implement the medical education intervention strategies.
