Maine AHEC Network

The Maine Area Health Education Center (AHEC) Network strives to alleviate health workforce shortages in rural and underserved areas of the state.

AHEC supports that effort by working with academic and community partners to:

1) Provide rural, community-based clinical training experiences for medical and other health professions students;

2) Encourage Maine youth and mid-career professionals to explore health careers; and

3) Support practicing health professionals with continuing education and distance learning opportunities.

We hosted our annual AHEC Scholars Case Competition this past weekend. The event, planned and coordinated by AHEC Scholar Program Manager Micaela Maynard, M.Ed., is designed not only to prepare students for the complexities of health care in underserved populations but also to generate actionable solutions.

“The Case Competition pushes students to think beyond individual patient care and toward broader, systemic solutions that can impact entire communities,” Maynard said. “Our goal is for participants to leave not only with clinical knowledge but also with the skills to address health disparities and advocate for those in underserved populations so that they can make a real difference in Maine’s health care landscape.” Click the link to read more! Congratulations to our AHEC Scholars!

With increasing numbers of asylum seekers arriving in Maine, the event brought timely focus to the complex web of barriers these families face when accessing essential health services, with a focus on maternal health.
