Dear Student,
Welcome to the Three Rivers Area Health Education Center (AHEC) region. My goal as the Preceptor Coordinator for this area is to help
you gain fulfilling educational experiences by providing community-based learning opportunities and clinical experiences within the rural and
urban underserved communities of our region. Community-based training will give you a unique opportunity to experience health care in a
real world setting and interact one-on-one with your community based preceptor and patients. Current research has shown that health care professions students who have participated in these experiences have a better understanding of the complex needs of underserved
communities.
The Three Rivers AHEC is a non-profit regional health education center, based in Columbus, Georgia. The mission of the Three Rivers AHEC
is to increase the supply, distribution and education of health professionals in the Georgia.
