Meet our AHEC Scholars

Since 2018, Southwest Indiana Area Health Education Center has offered health professions students a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in rural and underserved urban settings through the AHEC Scholars program. Two cohorts have already graduated, and 20 students are currently beginning their second year of the program.

Students currently enrolled in a health professions degree or certificate program (two years from program or degree completion) are eligible to apply for this program. This includes (but is not limited to) students in medical, dental, pharmacy, nurse practitioner, nursing, physician assistant, social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, public/population health and other allied health programs.

AHEC Scholars will be involved for two academic years, completing 40 hours of didactic education and 40 hours of community-based, experiential learning with SWI-AHEC team members.
