The AHEC facilitates and promotes training
programs that focus on recruitment, re-entry, retraining and retention
initiatives, particularly in the rural and underserved areas.
Through its funding and network resources, the AHEC works to bring
continuing education to the primary care providers in the rural and
underserved areas. The education may be in the form of conferences,
seminars, training programs or satellite downlinks. The AHEC will also
facilitate programs that allow professionals to go to academic centers
for specific procedural training to enhance the delivery of care to
patients in the rural areas. An example is the “Physician in
Residence” program, where physicians spend a number of days at the
medical school learning either a newly developed procedure, or one
that they have not done before in their practice. These workshops are
designed for the individual physician so that he or she may comply
with credentialing requirements of their respective medical staff. Through our various hospital partners we are able to co-sponsor
programs to provide continuing medical education credits needed to
maintain professional licenses.
The AHEC attempts to utilize its resources throughout the 15 county
area so that all primary care practitioners in the rural and
underserved areas are able to benefit. If you or your primary care
group would like more information on these programs, please
contact our office.
