Alaska Area Health Education Center (AHEC)

At the Alaska Area Health Education Center (AHEC), we are dedicated to empowering both current and future healthcare professionals across the State of Alaska. Through dynamic partnerships with a diverse range of organizations, including healthcare providers, educational institutions, and community-based initiatives, we help individuals develop the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience necessary to succeed in healthcare careers. Our mission is to strengthen Alaska's healthcare workforce by engaging youth, providing clinical training in rural and underserved areas, and ensuring that healthcare professionals have access to ongoing continuing education. We focus on creating opportunities for Alaskans to enter, thrive in, and remain in the healthcare field, with an emphasis on supporting healthcare professionals from historically underrepresented communities. We are proud of our statewide impact, which includes facilitating clinical rotations, offering professional development resources, and connecting students to health career opportunities. At Alaska AHEC, we believe in collaboration to build a stronger, more resilient healthcare system for Alaska's future. Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to advance your career, an educator seeking resources for your students, or an organization interested in partnering to build Alaska's healthcare workforce, we invite you to connect with us and learn how we can work together to strengthen healthcare in our state.
