Clinical Training

GSAHEC coordinates clinical training opportunities at community-based sites for students who are enrolled in a health professions training program. The AHEC sites bring health disparities to life for students, who see first-hand the needs of uninsured and underinsured patients. During 2006-2007 GSAHEC placed 278 health professions students in clinical training rotations throughout our four counties introducing them to the rewards and challenges of working with the medically needy – and possibly influencing their career decisions. These students saw 5,556 patients and logged 14,625 service hours at Manatee County Rural Health Services, county health departments and rural populations in DeSoto county.
