Of a traveler seat during the 24-month placement1
Paid Epic academy, taught by certified Principal Trainers
Placement on your team, mentored two-in-the-box
Conversion fee when they join your payroll
Certified Epic talent is scarce, expensive, and leaves.
Health systems fill analyst seats with travelers who cost twice what a permanent hire does and rarely stay past the contract. Meanwhile the communities those systems serve are full of capable graduates with no path into the field. Purpose Pathways builds that path in your community and ends it on your payroll.
Five steps. Twenty-four months. Zero conversion fee.
You commit the seats
Name the analyst seats and application tracks the cohort will fill before we recruit anyone, and take a governance seat as founding partner.
We recruit locally
Eight graduates selected from your regional universities through aptitude screening and panel interviews. One interviewer per track is yours.
We train, you sponsor
A 13-week paid academy toward Epic certification, delivered by our certified Principal Trainers. You hold the sponsorship as the direct Epic customer; we pay every course, exam, and travel dollar.
They work 24 months on your team
Associates join at roughly half a traveler seat, mentored two-in-the-box by our named senior analysts, with quarterly KPI reviews.
They convert, no fee
At month 24 they become your employees: certified, two years deep in your build, rooted in your community. You write the offer letters; we charge nothing.
Priced against the traveler seat it replaces, learning curve counted.
We model associates at 80% of an experienced analyst's output in year one and 95% in year two, and the saving reports as identified temporary-labor reduction. We rebuild the model with your seats and your rates before you commit to anything.
