St. Luke's Profile     |     > See St. Luke's :30 Broadcast PSA

Organization: As Idaho's only not-for-profit health system, St. Luke's is part of the communities we serve, with local physicians and boards who further our organization's mission "To improve the health of people in our region." Working together, we share resources, skills, and knowledge to provide the best possible care.

Idahoans employed: 9,000+

5 primary skill sets we need:

• Excellent communication skills (verbal and written)
• Science
• Math
• Strong critical thinking (judgement)
• Team skills

Hiring requirements: Because of the intensity of the work we do, even entry level roles require high school equivalency. The majority of the jobs require a technical or college degree. Professional roles require a college degree with many requiring additional graduate level training.

Skills needed in 5-15 years in our industry:

• Information Technology skills
• Medical Coding (ICD-10 conversion)
• Medical Imaging skills in new modalities
• Medical professionals in all sectors (physicians, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, and others)
• Business Skills
• Innovation and problem-solving

Trouble finding workers in Idaho? Yes. We don't have a medical school in Idaho, so all the physicians come from outside the state. Competition for many medical professionals is fierce. We continue to seek quality staff outside the state for roles as Pharmacists, Physical Therapists, Medical Imaging, IT, and Oncology related professionals.
