Area Health Education Centers

The Area Health Education Center (AHEC) program was created by an act of Congress in 1971 to recruit, train and retain a health professions workforce committed to underserved populations.

AHECs strive to meet the needs of the communities they serve through robust community-academic partnerships, with a focus on exposure, education, and training of the current and future health care workforce. 

Today, 48 AHEC programs with more than 300 centers operate in almost every state and the District of Columbia.
