Our AHEC Centers

Established in 2022, the Idaho AHEC Program Office supports three Area Health Education Centers through statewide collaborations, creation of strategic partnerships, and program evaluation and reporting.

Our centers join a cadre of 235 AHECs across the nation, whose members work to recruit, train and retain health professionals to work in rural and underserved communities.

Our centers focus on three main activities:
