One of our amazing Scholars, Nick, shares this about his time in our AHEC Scholars program!

My name is Nick, and I am an M4 at UWSMPH. I wanted to share a cool opportunity to become involved with learning about healthcare across Wisconsin in your final two years of school.

The Wisconsin Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) Scholars Program is a two-year program whose goal is to expose health professions students to healthcare issues across the state and promote service to underserved populations. Topics include rural health, substance use, reproductive health, tribal health, and many others. You'll also have the opportunity travel to different parts of the state for immersion experiences to learn first-hand about various health topics.

Personally, I have loved being in AHEC scholar. I have learned a lot about healthcare challenges in the state. My favorite part was traveling to Eau Claire this past May to learn from healthcare leaders about how recent hospitals closures affected access to care. I met a lot of amazing people and gained important insight into how healthcare systems function.

I highly recommend applying for this low-stress and rewarding experience.
