3. Continuing Education (CE) - support health professionals by identifying CE needs and connect clinicians to program material via distance technology and assist communities and clinics with retention of primary care providers.
4. AHEC Scholars Program - AHEC Scholars is two-year program that is part of a national initiative created to prepare health professions students to become leaders in primary care in rural and underserved areas. Find out more at https://miahec.wayne.edu/healthcareers
