What others are saying about AHEC scholars:

“AHEC Scholars is like an open gym for elite basketball players. They are already dedicated and trying to be the best they can, but the open gym is a time for them to try new things and work on their games in a high-quality environment. AHEC scholars allows you to grow your game as a health professional by having a litany of opportunities and speakers to make you more well-rounded as a health professional.”

“I was able to learn things and gain experiences that I would not be able to get in my program.  Also, I benefitted in being able to collaborate with other AHEC Scholars who are going into other healthcare fields.”

“I think providing a combination of virtual and in person events is really nice. This year it was very difficult for me to attend in person events often due to the bus schedule that I ride come, as I commute, and finding the virtual option was convenient and I was still able to learn and gain knowledge!”

“This program has already made me look and think differently when dealing with patients. I hope many other students, especially nursing students, take the opportunity to become a part of this program. I have greatly benefited from it!”

“AHEC scholars has presented me with some of the best professional academic experiences of my academic career.”

“I truly believe that all the activities we have done have been very influential and critical for my future. I enjoyed the many center-directed pieces of training. They cover a wide range of topics that allow me to be more educated about various topics in healthcare.”
