Area Health Education Center (AHEC) FY25 C5497

Abstract The Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) at the University of Kentucky (UK) is a collaboration with the University of Louisville and four eastern Kentucky regional Area Health Education Centers (AHEC). This project aims to expand health workforce pathways to positively impact the diversity, efficacy, and geographic distribution of the health professions workforce practicing in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Specifically, this project supports two major goals. These are: a) early-pathways health careers activities for middle and high school students within classrooms and in communities, and b) health careers programming for learners in classroom, simulation, community, and professional contexts.
