Our AHEC Scholars Program is designed for health professions students interested in supplementing their education by gaining additional knowledge and experience in rural and/or underserved urban settings. This is a longitudinal program with interdisciplinary curricula that include a defined set of clinical, didactic, and community-based activities. All experiential and clinical training is conducted in rural and underserved urban settings. AHEC Scholars represent a variety of health professions and institutions from across WNC.

Program duration is two years and runs from August through May, with summers off. Each year includes the following:

  • 40 hours of community-based, experiential, or clinical training in rural and/or underserved areas
  • 40 hours of didactic education focused on eight core topic areas
