Scholars Network Names Mike Earman VP
Health system partnerships leader Mike Earman joins Scholars Network to build clinical talent pipelines with colleges nationwide.
Scholars Network, part of Noodle, has named Mike Earman vice president of health system partnerships. Earman will lead work with health systems nationwide to build clinical talent pipelines with colleges and universities. He brings more than a decade of healthcare provider experience to the role. His previous business grew from a startup to serving more than 150 hospitals before its 2025 acquisition.
Health System Partnerships
Scholars Network works with health systems and higher education institutions on recruitment, retention, and upskilling of clinical talent. Earman’s role centers on connecting healthcare employers with the schools that educate their workforce.
Mike Earman, Vice President of Health System Partnerships at Scholars Network, said:
“I've spent my whole career working with health systems on solutions that make a real difference for the people providing care, and every year it becomes harder for them to find and keep those people. Health systems are often spending more to recruit and retain nurses and clinicians than it costs to educate them in the first place. Scholars Network and Noodle sit right in the middle of that problem. With Scholars Network, health systems get a sustainable way to build the workforce they need, students get a clear and affordable path into a career in healthcare, and schools get the insight to grow the programs their communities need most.”
Healthcare Technology Experience
Earman joins Scholars Network from Laudio, an AI-enabled operating platform for health systems. Under his leadership, the business expanded to serve more than 150 hospitals nationwide before Ascend Learning acquired it in 2025.
Before Laudio, he spent eight years at Relias in roles serving health and human services providers and hospitals. His work included helping scale the company’s enterprise health system partnerships through more than a dozen mergers and acquisitions.
Building Clinical Talent Pipelines
Earman earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Finance from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
