Southern Utah AHEC

WHAT IS SOUTHERN UTAH AHEC? One of three regional center offices for the Utah Area Health Education Centers Program (Utah AHEC). We are currently housed at Southern Utah University, but we serve students from high schools and universities all across the state! We serve people from counties: Juab, Duchesne, Daggett, Uintah, Carbon, Sanpete, Millard, Sevier, Emery, Grand, Beaver, Piute, Wayne, Iron, Garfield, Washington, Kane, and San Juan. In coordination with the Utah AHEC Program Office, Southern Utah AHEC Regional Center improves the primary care workforce by: Facilitating over 150 rural rotations annually for health professions students. Sponsoring the Rural Health Scholars program with over 1,000 students, at Southern Utah University, Dixie State University, and Snow College. With focus on increasing their opportunities at preparation for graduate/health training programs at higher education institutions. Annually we produce and distribute “Utah Directory of Health Training Programs.” We also work to provide high school students opportunities to explore health careers and understand requirements as they are beginning their higher education experience. We are the host for Utah's chapter of 3RNet – the national rural recruitment and retention network. A job board for rural health care positions for rural areas all across the USA!
