Strengthening the STEM Talent Pipeline through Medtronic Spark with Dr. Sally Saba

Medical Alley

On this episode of The Medical Alley Podcast, we dive into one of the most urgent challenges facing our industry — our workforce. From shortages across clinical roles to the growing demand for skilled digital and technical talent, the strength of our future healthcare system truly depends on the people who power it.

To help us unpack the issue, we welcome Dr. Sally Saba, president of the Medtronic Foundation and Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer at Medtronic.

Dr. Saba is leading one of the most ambitious workforce initiatives in the country — Medtronic Spark, a 10-year, $100 million commitment designed to expand opportunity, strengthen the STEM talent pipeline, and ensure that the next generation of innovators reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

Applications for the Medtronic Spark Scholarship are officially open. To learn more about how to apply, click here.
