Northern West Virginia Area Health Education Center
Nationally, Area Health Education Centers were created by U.S. Congress in 1971 to connect the resources of university health science centers with local planning, educational and clinical resources. AHEC works to support community-based education for health professions students, provide continuing education for health professionals, and provide/support programs for K-16 students that prepare students for possible careers in the health professions. Today, this network of health-related institutions provides multidisciplinary educational services to students, faculty and local practitioners.
At Northern West Virginia Area Health Education Center, we train, recruit, and retain healthcare professionals in the counties of Braxton, Brooke, Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Hancock, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Marshall, Monongalia, Ohio, Preston, Randolph, Ritchie, Taylor, Tyler, Upshur, Wetzel, Wirt, and Wood.
