Project Description:
The Alaska Center for Rural Health (ACRH) exists to help strengthen systems to deliver comprehensive and culturally relevant health care to rural Alaska. It serves all aspects of Alaska's rural health system: Native and non-Native, physical and behavioral, within all disciplines as they struggle to address our state's health delivery challenges. Alaska's Area Health Education Center (AHEC) is a statewide university-industry partnership focused on strengthening Alaska's health workforce housed within ACRH. Specifically, the AHEC works in three distinct areas: - Encouraging people from disadvantaged backgrounds into health careers - Coordinating clinical rotations, to encourage health profession students to secure and retain employment in underserved areas with underserved populations - Provision of continuing education/continuing medical education in underserved areas, towards the retention of those health care workers
