"Connecting Professionals to Communities"

Developing opportunities for future health professionals to receive their clinical training in underserved areas,
and recruiting faculty committed to working with them

Health care workers often return to practice where they were trained, and students learn
from experience that it’s rewarding to work in underserved areas. That’s why AHEC connects
young people, students and practicing professionals to training opportunities with minority
and disadvantaged populations, in rural areas and inner city neighborhoods. Partnering with medical and other health professions schools, we connect students with professionals trained by AHEC to be preceptors, who share knowledge and experience in the context of their day-to-day practice.
