We’re adding value to Alaska health care one student at a time. The South Central Area Health Education (AHEC) is a collaboration between the University of Alaska School of Nursing and the the Providence Alaska Learning Institute (PALI). The SC AHEC also works closely with the Alaska Family Medicine Residency at Providence Alaska Medical Center. We enhance access to quality health care, particularly primary and preventive care, by improving the distribution of health care professionals through community/academic educational partnerships. High School Students

Investigate health careers with an interactive presentation specifically for junior high and high school classes.
