AHEC Professional Corps (APC) – Placement Sites
APC is a health workforce program that aims to enhance access to quality health care by connecting with professionally trained individuals in selected AHEC Professional Corps-affiliated placement sites. APC provides these professionals (APC members) with education and training on cultural competency, health resources for medically underserved communities, Bioterrorism and other current topics. APC offers the members the potential to earn over $9,000 in educational awards and/or school loan repayment.
The placement sites provide worksite orientation, supervision and salary as with any other employee. They work with the APC staff to assure completion of the AHEC Professional Corps training and service requirements. The placement site also maintains any required documentation and employment records to support members earning their education awards. APC can be considered an upgrade to a benefit package as the education award can be offered as a “bonus” of employment at APC placement sites.
