Interprofessional activities

Southern Minnesota AHEC supports three interprofessional community health projects in the region funded by Minnesota Education Research Costs (MERC). These MERC projects build interprofessional education teams of health professionals, health professions students, and community members to address a community-identified health issue.  MERC community projects currently exist in New Ulm - Obesity, and Montevideo - Prenatal Care.

Health professionals can also take part in interprofessional workshops offered by Minnesota AHEC covering such topics as obesity and battling methamphetamine abuse.
