Healthcare Career Training & Development Impact Survey

Hi! We're reviewing how career training and development programs are working for staff here. Your responses are completely confidential and anonymized. This takes about 6 minutes and your honest feedback — good or bad — directly shapes what we offer next.

In the last 12 months, how many training or professional development programs have you completed (required courses, certifications, workshops, conferences, etc.)?

• None
• 1
• 2-3
• 4-6
• More than 6

Thinking about training you've received in the last year, rate each type on relevance to your role and quality of instruction.

How confident are you in applying what you learned from your most recent training to your day-to-day work?

Which of these matter most to your career growth right now, and which matter least?

• Clinical skill certifications
• Leadership or management training
• Mentorship programs
• Tuition reimbursement
• Conference attendance
• Online self-paced courses
• Cross-department rotations
• Simulation-based training

What gets in the way of completing training or development activities you're interested in?

• Not enough time during shifts
• Cost or lack of funding
• Lack of manager support
• Unclear how it applies to my role
• Scheduling conflicts / staffing shortages
• Hard to find relevant programs

Overall, how would you rate this organization's support for your career development?

Reconstruct one specific recent moment when this person tried to apply a skill or knowledge from training on the job. Anchor on what the training covered, what actually happened when they tried to use it (with a patient, a system, a team situation), and whether it worked as expected. If they rated their confidence low or flagged barriers like time or manager support, probe concretely what would have made that training stick — a different format, more practice time, follow-up coaching, etc.

If you could get one new training resource or opportunity right now, what would it be and why?
