AMOpportunities (“AMO”), a leading healthcare training platform providing tech-enabled clinical rotation development and management services for schools, providers, and health systems, today announced a majority-control growth investment from AIM Equity Partners (“AIM”). The transaction enables AMO to bolster its leadership position within the healthcare education market by accelerating product investment that expands the company’s platform into new clinical specialties while deepening its value for its current partners.
Amid a severe healthcare provider shortage, AMO’s platform addresses critical challenges faced by facilities and systems in providing clinical training, a degree program requirement and a rate-limiting step in increasing the provider workforce. AMO works with institutions to develop a personalized workforce recruitment strategy through tailored training partnerships with healthcare schools, enabling schools to launch new programs and increase class size while driving overall licensed provider growth.
By providing front-line administrative services and a flexible clinical capacity management technology platform to institutions, AMO removes structural barriers that prevent healthcare providers and systems from scaling their clinical training programs or entering the clinical training marketplace entirely.Designed to be specialty and degree-type agnostic, AMO facilitates the establishment of strategic relationships among institutions and aligned healthcare education programs to meet their workforce needs.
“I could not be more thrilled to be partnering with AIM, a thesis-driven investment firm that brings a wealth of expertise in healthcare, education and workforce solutions, and who shares our passion for solving this critical workforce challenge facing our healthcare system,” said John Danaher, MD, CEO at AMO. “As we scale our solution to meet the needs of nationwide health systems, we’re excited for this next stage of growth and the opportunity to make a positive, system-wide impact in the provider education and patient care ecosystem.”
