Who We Are

The South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (AHEC) is a state agency that provides education, recruitment and retention programs to improve the training, diversity and distribution of South Carolina’s healthcare workforce. South Carolina AHEC began in 1972 as one of the 11 originally funded projects of the federal AHEC program. The South Carolina AHEC System is comprised of a program office located at the Medical University of South Carolina, four regional AHEC centers and also works collaboratively with the family medicine residency training programs throughout the state.

South Carolina AHEC connects students and professionals with the tools, training and resources necessary to provide quality healthcare, with a focus on primary care for rural and underserved communities. We provide education, recruitment and retention programs to build and support the healthcare workforce South Carolina needs.
