Connecting with Partners.
AHEC partners with state and local health departments, primary care associations and community health centers in urban and rural communities to provide health care students hands on experience outside the classroom. Students work at hospitals, social service agencies, community health centers, primary and secondary education schools and long-term care facilities.
Physicians, nurses and other health care professionals at community hospitals, clinics and social service agencies serve as valuable preceptors or out-of-the classroom teachers to instruct students as they gain practical health care experience.
In-Kind Contributions $1,152,500
