Student Services

The Northeast AHEC has a wide variety of services to offer students of all educational levels. A major feature is the coordination of off-site clinical experiences. We strive to ensure that all aspects of the clinical rotation are as educational and memorable as possible.

A key service of the AHEC is to provide students with safe, comfortable, and affordable housing accommodations while on rotation. Accommodations range from guest rooms in private homes to on-site apartment living. Most accommodations are located within minutes of the clinical site.

Another vital function of the Northeast AHEC is to recruit prospective volunteer faculty to teach students in rural settings. The AHEC develops and maintains a continuing bridge between the physician in the community and the University. This service insures that post-graduate students will have access to a vast selection of preceptors.

Pre-Medical Shadowing

The Northeast AHEC has also devised a program to ensure that students from the region are able to obtain the shadowing hours they need prior to their application submission to medical school. We coordinate experiences for the students in a variety of areas ranging from Family Practice to more specialized areas such as Nephrology, Oncology, and Gastroenterology.
