What does team-based care really look like?

For Asha Kamath, a social work student at the University of Maryland Baltimore and Central Maryland Area Health Education Center AHEC Scholar, the answer came through the AHEC Scholars program, where she gained firsthand experience working alongside professionals from multiple healthcare disciplines.

During an interdisciplinary clinical placement, Asha worked alongside physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to help patients navigate challenges both inside and outside the exam room.

As Asha explains, "That experience gave me a front-row seat to how care actually happens, not the version you read about in textbooks or see on The Pitt, but the version where every discipline has to work together in real time for real people."

The AHEC Scholars program prepares the next generation of healthcare professionals to communicate across disciplines, strengthen care coordination, and deliver patient-centered care.

Last weekend, Central Maryland AHEC had the privilege of providing Naloxone (Narcan) training to volunteers with the American Diversity Group. This training empowers community members to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses, helping save lives when every second counts. Participants also received Narcan kits to keep, ensuring they are prepared to respond in the event of an overdose. Thank you for having us and for your dedication to our communities!💙
