Area Health Education Centers (AHEC)

Supporting Health Care Professionals through Continuing Education

With a focus on retention of the health care professionals who currently practice in medically underserved settings, AHECs provide educational support. Courses on a wide range of topics are conveniently made available to these professionals in an effort to reduce the professional isolation and assist in maintaining their requirements for licensure.  These efforts ultimately have a positive impact on the quality and accessibility of health care in these communities.
