Teachers and Counselors
AHEC is here to help you prepare the students of today to be the healthcare professionals of tomorrow!
AHEC has been delivering health science content in the classroom since 1971. We strive to provide content that is both engaging and relevant for students interested in the health sciences.
The Southwest Area Health Education Center serves 21 counties in Southwest Missouri providing health science related educational activities to students in assorted classes, assemblies, and through extracurricular programs and summer camps to encourage them to pursue health-related fields post high school or undergraduate studies. AHEC also aims to support educators and offer services to engage students in the learning process.
