New Mexico AHEC Scholars will be selected from various health professions programs and regions of the state. They will participate in a two year program that includes 40 hours per year of didactic training related to six core topic areas:
- Inter-professional education
- Behavioral health integration
- Social determinants of health
- Cultural competency
- Practice transformation
- Current and emerging health issues, such as opioid addiction
A significant part of the didactic training will include intensive systems leadership workshops with the NM AHEC Scholar cohort. In addition, Scholars will participate in an interdisciplinary primary care AHEC TeleECHO clinic, the first of its kind!
AHEC scholars will also receive 40 hours per year of community-based, interdisciplinary team-based experience as part of their regular clinical training each year. Each cohort of scholars will have the opportunity to network with other scholars and faculty through in-person and online training and seminars.
