Acquisition Rationale

收购理由

Keypath is recognized for its healthcare education expertise, particularly its clinical placement capabilities. The company has supported more than 55,000 successful student placements through relationships with nearly 15,000 healthcare sites and more than 28,000 preceptors nationwide. These capabilities address one of the most significant barriers to expanding healthcare education: securing high-quality clinical experiences required for student training..

Keypath 以其在医疗健康教育领域的专业知识，尤其是其临床实习安置能力而广受认可。通过与全国近 15,000 家医疗机构和超过 28,000 名临床导师建立的合作关系，该公司已助力超过 55,000 名学生成功完成实习安置。这些能力解决了扩大医疗健康教育面临的最重大障碍之一：确保学生培训所需的高质量临床实践机会。

The acquisition comes as universities face growing pressure to expand access to healthcare education and prepare more graduates for in-demand healthcare careers. While demand for healthcare professionals continues to grow, many institutions lack the clinical placement infrastructure needed to scale programs efficiently.

此次收购正值各大学面临越来越大的压力，需扩大医疗保健教育的覆盖面，并为需求旺盛的医疗保健职业培养更多毕业生。尽管对医疗保健专业人员的需求持续增长，但许多机构缺乏有效扩展项目所需的临床实习安置基础设施。

The Risepoint acquisition of Keypath's North American operations directly addresses that challenge..

Risepoint 收购 Keypath 北美业务直接应对了这一挑战。
