South Central Texas AHEC

Since 1996, the South Central Area Health Education Center (AHEC) has worked to create clinical training opportunities in primary care settings in undeserved communities for health professions students at the University of Texas Health San Antonio.

The South Central AHEC collaborates with area school districts, college, universities and regional community based partners to increase the capacity of the communities to address the unmet and disparate health needs of their citizens through educational intervention.

It is our objective to ensure diversity in the health care workforce by collaborating with agencies and organizations to provide interdisciplinary training, continuing education and educational opportunities to health professions students, faculty and health providers throughout the south central region of Texas.
