Mid-Carolina AHEC Achievement of population parity in South Carolina's health professions workforce.

We partner with academic institutions, medical facilities, and healthcare providers to support the education and retention of health professionals in the SC AHEC Mid-Carolina Region, especially in rural areas. Background Information:

Since 1972, the South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (AHEC) has been assisting minority and underserved students to explore health careers. This long term commitment has been based on AHEC’s awareness that the under representation of racial and ethnic minorities in our state’s health care workforce significantly contributes to disparities in the health status and access to health care for some of SC’s most vulnerable residents. Mission:

To improve the quality and accessibility of health care for the communities of South Carolina through a system of community-academic partnerships whose central purpose is the recruitment, education, and retention of primary health care providers. Vision:

To be a model integrated and collaborative educational system that builds the capacity for optimal health in South Carolina

-Improved quality of health care in South Carolina with an emphasis on primary care.
-Elimination of medically underserved areas in South Carolina. Our Counties:

This week, HCP Coordinators served as interviewers at the Newberry County Career Center's Mock Interview Day!

Students in health-science-related classes interviewed for a Patient Care Technician position. Coordinators conducted the interviews, incorporating real interview questions and scenarios.

This was a valuable learning experience for both the students and the HCP Coordinators. We appreciate the Newberry County Career Center for the invitation, and we look forward to collaborating in the future!

🩺🥽Health Careers Program ~ October Session (pt. 3)

This past Tuesday, Lancaster Health Careers Program students tried out an interactive Vital Signs VR Simulation. This hands-on activity helped them learn how healthcare professionals check vital signs and monitor patient health.

These simulations immerse students in real-world healthcare careers and situations. Students are able to interact with patients and build confidence in their communication, collaboration, and reasoning skills.

Thank you, USC Lancaster, for providing our future healthcare professionals a space to connect and learn!

💙Health Careers Program ~ October Session (pt. 2)

This past Tuesday, our Richland 11th- and 12th-graders learned about the important role social workers play in healthcare and their communities!

Students learned how social workers help individuals and families, advocate for patients, connect people with essential resources, and address challenges that affect their overall well-being. This experience showed students the many ways social work can make a difference and introduced them to another rewarding career option in healthcare.

A special thank you to MacKenzie Lawrimore, BSW, Advanced Standing MSW Student, for sharing her knowledge, providing valuable insight, and inspiring our students to explore the impact of social work!

Thank you, Midlands Technical College, for providing our future healthcare professionals a space to connect and learn!
