Health Professionals
We support community-based health professionals with continuing education opportunities, resources, and connections to health professions students. Working with students Access to health professions students is one of the greatest resources available to community-based health professionals. Students are eager to learn from community-based health professionals and come away with a greater understanding of what it means to practice in an urban or rural community. The Minnesota AHEC Program Office can help you identify your capabilities and put you in touch with the experiential education coordinators who can help place a student in your community.
