The Center manages health-related policy, planning, development, and advocacy activities for the University of Alaska system, and creates strong pathways for Alaskans to become the health professionals Alaska needs. The Alaska Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) program began at the University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) in 2005. AHECs are academic and community-based partnerships engaged in primary care workforce engagement, training and recruiting, and retaining activities to improve the distribution, diversity, supply and quality of health care personnel. The Alaska AHEC program office (housed within ACRH-HW) contracts with six regional Centers to implement educational activities involving health professions and to expose students to primary care delivery in rural and/or underserved settings.
