Mid-MO AHEC
takes a "pipeline" approach to producing healthcare providers
for the future, from youth to the practitioner. We believe youth are the
solution for the future, and exposing them to careers in healthcare is
a proven method to encourage their career choice as a healthcare provider.
Mid-MO AHEC partners with communities to help them "grow their own"
future providers through several strategies, including the ACES (AHEC
Career Enhancement Scholars) program for high school and undergraduate
students.
