Student Services

Upstate AHEC Student Services provide a bridge linking K-12 and college students, especially disadvantaged and minority students, to health careers and health professions students to medically underserved communities. Through the Health Careers Programs (HCP) and Health Professions Students (HPS) programs, AHEC identifies, motivates, recruits and prepares tomorrow’s healthcare workforce to address the needs of our region’s most vulnerable populations.

AHEC ALUMNI NEEDED

Upstate AHEC is looking for past members of its student programs. If you’ve ever participated in the South Carolina Association of Future Health Professionals, the AHEC Student Development and Diversity Program (SDDP), the Health Careers Academy (HCA) or any other healthcare career club in high school or college, we want to hear about it.

If you are working in the healthcare field, please complete the “Career Information Update.” If you are a college student, complete the “Year-End Assessment.”
