What health professions training programs does the USF AHEC Program work with?
The USF AHEC Program/GNAHEC/GSAHEC and its centers coordinate clinical training opportunities at community-based sites for students who are enrolled in a health professions training program. We partner with a number of academic institutions throughout the state of Florida to train students at our community-based sites in a nine-county area. We partner with health professions training programs that train students in medicine, nursing, public health, physical therapy, dentistry, pharmacy, social work and more. The AHEC sites bring health disparities to life for students, who see first-hand the needs of uninsured and underinsured patients. All third-year USF medical students rotate through an AHEC-sponsored community health site as part of their primary care clerkship. USF nursing and public health students also elect to do field experiences at the community health sites. In addition, Gulfcoast North AHEC partners with other academic institutions such as Barry University, Florida A&M Univ
