| Supporting Communities |
| Every year thousands
of health care students from Ohio's medical colleges gain valuable
clinical experience by training at community hospitals, clinics
and physician offices. Community health care providers serve as
"out-of-the-classroom" instructors for the students. At
each of Ohio's AHEC Centers a community or advisory committee identifies
local community educational goals and partners with Ohio's seven
medical colleges to place students in the best possible learning
situations. In addition, AHEC Centers offer numerous community programs
and health care professional continuing education opportunities
through each of the centers. |
