Progress Through Partnerships

Missouri AHEC's primary goal is to support and sustain a pipeline for the production of primary care health professionals for underserved areas in Missouri. 

The pipeline begins with young people in underserved communities, fosters their interest in health careers and helps them prepare for health professions training.  It continues through their college and professional school experiences when we enable their schools to provide part of their health-care professional training in underserved communities.  After graduation, the pipeline helps those individuals establish careers and remain in underserved areas.  AHEC glues the pipeline together through our collaboration with educational institutions, federal and state agencies, local organizations and underserved communities.
