Northern Vermont Area Health Education Center (AHEC)

1

Northern Vermont AHEC is one of two independent not-for-profit regional AHEC centers covering all 14 counties in Vermont. Our mission is to educate and inspire students and professionals to improve the health of Vermont communities.

Northern Vermont AHEC serves Caledonia, Essex, Franklin, Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans and Washington counties.

The Vermont AHEC Network, with the support of HRSA, the Vermont Department of Health, and other community and academic partners, strengthens the primary care workforce by: providing health career explorations programs for students throughout Vermont; supporting the engagement of health professions students in community experiences to encourage future practice in Vermont; and by reducing the debt of primary care practitioners in Vermont in exchange for service commitments through programs administered by the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.
