PACS Group is aiming to redefine training for aspiring nursing home administrators through its six-month administrator-in-training (AIT) program. This innovative approach shortens traditional, two-year training programs and emphasizes closely shadowing a current administrator to provide autonomy and build leadership skills. PACS Group President and Chief Operating Officer Josh Jergensen shares with Skilled Nursing News how this “new school” model has driven higher retention for the Company (77% in its first 11 years) and empowered entrepreneurial talent at the start of their careers.
