What is an AHEC Preceptor?


An AHEC preceptor is a health professional, who in conjunction with an AHEC program, serves as a clinical faculty member for one or more health professions academic programs. By training students at community–based rural and underserved urban areas, AHECs seek to expose these students to the needs, challenges and practice opportunities that exist in medically underserved areas.
