Guam/ Micronesian Area Health Education Center (G/M AHEC)

What is an AHEC?

An area health education center, or AHEC, improves health care in underserved communities through increasing the number, diversity, and practice skills of the health workforce. The AHEC program works collaboratively with a network of partners in local communities, the region, and other resources.

How Does the Guam/Micronesia AHEC Work?

The program addresses the needs of its service area by:

• Organizing learning activities for students to foster interest in the pursuit of health careers and prepare them for college.
  
  
• Supporting nursing, public health, and allied health education programs in Guam, FSM, and RMI and implementing an AHEC Scholars Program.
  
  
• Connecting health professions students to primary care clinical experiences in underserved areas.
  
  
• Transforming health care practice through continuing education.
