The Goal of the Southwest
Georgia Area Health Education Center is to increase access to primary care
services in rural underserved areas in southwest Georgia through the
recruitment, training, and retention of health professionals.
The AHEC is an educational program for
the health professions with specific objectives to:
-
 Recruit students from underserved, remote communities into
medicine, nursing, allied health, and other health professions.
- Train students in health care professions in community-based sites
and expose them to the needs, challenges, and career opportunities in
medically underserved areas.
- Increase the availability of continuing education programs,
library and information resources, and other means of assisting
isolated health care practitioners to stay current in their respective
fields.
- Identify the most cost effective strategies to address health
profession needs. This includes analysis of work force data, focused
utilization of existing resources, and the development of working
partnerships and collaborations.
