No single effort can create the ideal healthcare workforce; accordingly, Washington has adopted a multipronged approach to improve the size and distribution of the primary care workforce. Washington’s recruitment and retention efforts include coordinated planning, pipeline and education efforts, support for service programs, and employer technical assistance programs. Clinician retention is woven into much of the recruitment programming. Great efforts are made to provide clear communication of and exposure to the unique challenges and rewards that rural and underserved clinical opportunities can bring.

Our small community college library developed a learning object repository to support a cross-institutional, land-based, multidisciplinary academic initiative using the open-source platform Omeka S. Drawing on critical, feminist, and open practices, we document the relational labor, dialogue, and tensions involved with this open education project. This case study shares our experience with tools and processes that may be helpful for other small-scale open education initiatives, including user-centered iterative design, copyright education, metadata design, and user-interface development in Omeka S.
