Thank you for your interest in the Missouri AHEC Scholars Program. This 2-year interprofessional program is an advanced learning opportunity for selected health professions students with a strong interest in providing healthcare in rural or urban medically underserved communities across Missouri. The AHEC Scholars Program allows students from a variety of health professions disciplines to network while learning supplemental skills and information in core topic areas above and beyond their normal academic curriculum.
This 2-year program requires a minimum of 40 hours of didactic activities and 40 hours of experiential activities each year. Activities will be team-based and focused on the following core topics: Interprofessional Education; Behavioral Health Integration; Social Determinants of Health; Cultural Competency; Practice Transformation; Current and Emerging Health Issues; Connecting Communities and Supporting Health Professionals; and Virtual Learning and Telehealth.
