Mid-Carolina AHEC Achievement of population parity in South Carolina's health professions workforce.

We partner with academic institutions, medical facilities, and healthcare providers to support the education and retention of health professionals in the SC AHEC Mid-Carolina Region, especially in rural areas. Background Information:

Since 1972, the South Carolina Area Health Education Consortium (AHEC) has been assisting minority and underserved students to explore health careers. This long term commitment has been based on AHEC’s awareness that the under representation of racial and ethnic minorities in our state’s health care workforce significantly contributes to disparities in the health status and access to health care for some of SC’s most vulnerable residents. Mission:

To improve the quality and accessibility of health care for the communities of South Carolina through a system of community-academic partnerships whose central purpose is the recruitment, education, and retention of primary health care providers. Vision:

To be a model integrated and collaborative educational system that builds the capacity for optimal health in South Carolina

-Improved quality of health care in South Carolina with an emphasis on primary care.
-Elimination of medically underserved areas in South Carolina. Our Counties:

Kershaw County Edition!

Thank you, Lugoff-Elgin High School, for allowing our HCP Coordinators to host a Virtual Reality Health Career Exploration Session today!

HCP Coordinator Whitney Amaker kicked off the session by introducing the Health Science Career Cluster and its 5 major subclusters that group related occupations, skills, and educational tracks.

Students chose from various health career simulations that aligned with their interests and skill set. Our pictured volunteer 'Assisted with a Knee Surgey.' Other students 'Perfomed a Blood Draw' and 'Helped at a Car Crash.'

Students, if you see the Rural Health Careers Club coming to your county, be sure to register! You won't want to miss out!

Aiken County Edition!

Our very first Rural Health Careers Club session was a success!
This past Saturday, Mid-Carolina AHEC collaborated with Aiken County high school students for an engaging, hands-on IV therapy session! Students explored IV therapy techniques, learned more about the healthcare field, and gained valuable hands-on experience.

A special thank you to Teressa, Education Coordinator with Aiken Regional, for facilitating and sharing her knowledge and expertise with our students!
