Warwick Bagg: Auckland University Dean of Medical and Health Sciences on the record number of people studying health courses

Demand for health workers is leading more people to take up health courses.  Ministry of Education data shows 52 thousand people were studying some form of health course last year – the most since records began a decade ago.  That includes 17,800 people studying nursing.  Auckland University Dean of Medical and Health Sciences Warwick Bagg told Ryan Bridge more people are highly motivated to join the industry.   He says health is the largest employer in the country, and it's a great opportunity for people to contribute to a diverse workforce.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
