AHEC Program Updates
September 2017- August 2018 will be the final year the Alaska AHEC Program will provide support services for clinical rotation students. Due to shifts in federal funding initiatives, the Alaska AHEC will be developing the AHEC Scholars Program, a longitudinal, interdisciplinary program which will launch Fall 2018. Following the launch, all AHEC program funding will be allocated specifically to AHEC Scholars. |
The AHEC Scholars Program will consist of the following elements:

AHEC Scholar cohorts will include 15-25 new students per center, per academic year. Cohorts must be students from multiple disciplines (e.g. medicine, nursing, social work and other allied health programs).
The AHEC Program is actively seeking faculty and student input in development of the program during our planning year. If you are interested in being part of this process or in becoming an AHEC Scholar in the future, we would love your input. Please contact Alaska AHEC Director, Gloria Burnett, gburnett3@alaska.edu. |
