We Are Orbis Education

Orbis Education was founded in 2003 to identify and address healthcare shortages by connecting students with higher education and healthcare systems to graduate practice-ready professionals to relieve the demands that are at an all-time high. Major contributing factors to healthcare industries experiencing a shortage of trained practitioners include the aging population and retiring workforce, as well as limited university resources and healthcare clinical placements needed to graduate to educate students to enter the workforce to fulfill the growing job demand.

Solving the Healthcare Shortage Full Circle

In today’s unpredictable world, the one thing that remains certain is that healthcare is a growing industry that faces a detrimental imbalance of supply and demand. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has put an even greater strain on many healthcare industries that were already experiencing shortages, such as nursing and medical laboratory sciences.

The fact is, not enough healthcare professionals are graduating to sustain the current shortages, let alone the future demands of America’s growing population. This problem needs a solution, fast.

That's Where We Come In

Universities want to expand their healthcare programs, as well as attract, enroll, motivate and graduate more career-ready students. Providers need qualified job candidates. The goal—fill job vacancies and ensure quality patient care is available for future generations to come. Both industries can help each other achieve this goal. But they were missing one important piece of the puzzle: Orbis.

We take a “full circle” approach to solving this problem by partnering with universities to expand their pre-licensure healthcare programs into accelerated programs, managing everything from online learning to clinical placements within our renowned healthcare system partners to graduate trained practitioners ready to enter the workforce. Our partners leverage our expertise to produce thousands of high-quality graduates ready to enter the workforce and meet employers’ demands.
